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 if it is part of wraparound support and the application also meets at least one of the other themes.
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.
UK registered charities with a turnover of less than £1 million based anywhere in the UK can apply for small grants of between £250 and £1,000.
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).
This is the final small grants application window for 2025. Applications will be considered at the early December meeting.
Applications open on 12 August and close 3 November 2025.
