After a review in April of this year, the Foundation has revised its grants programme.
It now offers physical health and mental health grants of up to £25,000 (usually for one year) to support the work of UK registered charities with an annual income below £20 million and at least five years' audited or independently examined accounts.
Each programme is tailored to address specific needs within the health sector, enabling organisations to deliver meaningful and lasting impact to the communities they serve.
Physical Health grants support:
- Therapeutic interventions for people living with acute, chronic, or degenerative physical conditions; people living with physical disabilities; and those recovering from life-changing injuries.
- Specialist, single-condition charities.
- Organisations that provide direct healthcare services to marginalised communities.
- Air ambulance charities operating in South West England, Wales, Scotland, and Northern Ireland
Mental Health grants are for UK-registered charities that work either regionally or nationally:
- Only charities that have a specialist, single focus on one or more of the following are supported: childhood sexual abuse; living in a household where there is domestic violence, and/or physical and/or emotional neglect; living with a parent who has a mental illness and/or substance abuse.
- Parental support should involve evidence-based, whole-family, trauma-informed programmes for:
- Parents to confront their own ACEs and help to break the intergenerational cycle of trauma and abuse.
- Families where a parent or caregiver has a mental illness or substance addiction and is at risk of harming their children.
The funding is flexible, designed to contribute towards overall service delivery, however, grants can also be made for a specific project.
In addition, the Foundation provides grants for hospice care for both children and adults in South West England and South Wales. This grants programme will open for applications in October 2025.
Applications are currently being accepted to the Physical Health and Mental Health grants programme.
