Through this programme, support is given to:

  • Evidence-based physical therapies for:

    • People living with neurodegenerative physical conditions and/or neuromuscular conditions

    • People living with physical disabilities

    • People recovering from life-changing injuries

  • Specialist, single-condition charities – typically these are national charities that provide information about a specific condition via nurse-led helplines and via digital and print materials. 

  • Charities whose main focus is delivering direct healthcare services to these inclusion health groups

    • People experiencing homelessness

    • Street sex workers

    • Vulnerable migrants

  • Air ambulance charities operating in South West England, Wales, Scotland, and Northern Ireland

Applications will be accepted from UK-registered healthcare charities with an annual income below £20 million and at least five years' audited or independently examined accounts. To be eligible, UK registered charities must be delivering services in the UK.

Priority is given to:

  • Charities that address unmet needs, demonstrate sector expertise, and have a clear, well-defined strategy.

  • Charities providing condition-specific information.

  • Organisations whose services are delivered by qualified specialist professionals.

In addition, priority may be given to charities that:

  • Support individuals with life-limiting and / or degenerative conditions. 

  • Are PIF Tick certified and / or Helplines Partnership members.

  • Provide their services free of charge or at a highly subsidised rate.

  • Are primarily reliant on charitable trusts and foundations.

The funding is flexible, designed to contribute towards overall service delivery. However, grants can also be made for a specific project.

There is a two-stage application process. This new round is for projects to be funded in spring 2027.

Expressions of Interest open on 1 July with a deadline of 31 August 2026 (17:00). For more information, please visit Physical Health Funding | James Tudor Foundation
