Funding for Projects Supporting Those in Need of a Safe and Secure Home

/

The Leeds Building Society Foundation offers grants to UK registered charities for projects which address one or more of the following themes:

  • Financial stress - projects that help with bills or debt stress.

  • Security and refuge - projects that support emergency accommodation.

  • Quality and suitability of housing.

  • Health and wellbeing support for those experiencing homelessness.

Applications are welcome from those who take a Housing First and/or relationship-based approach. Applications should show evidence of:

  • Strength-based practice

  • Trauma-informed care

  • Psychologically informed environments.

Depending on their annual turnover, UK registered charities can apply for:

  • Small Grants of between £250 and £1,000 to charities anywhere in the UK that have a turnover of less than £1 million. The funding is to be used for projects that support those in need of a safe and secure home. Grants are only for capital expenditure (that is, to purchase items used to directly help those in need).

  • Large Grants of between £25,000 and £100,000 for charities with a turnover of £5 million or less (new turnover limit, previously there was none) who are based in or delivering work in Yorkshire and/or the North East of England. The grant can be a one year grant, or split across two or three years and can support new work or existing work and fund core, project and/or capital costs.

There are two more closing dates for applications in 2024. Successful applicants will be contacted two months after the meeting date.

The penultimate deadline for applications is 9 September for consideration at the 25 September 2024 meeting.
