Local Collaborations

This programme supports collaborations led by small charities seeking to influence and achieve local or regional change around improving the social security system, improving access to suitable accommodation, and support for asylum seekers and refugees. The programme provides flexible grants of £100,000 over two years to support impactful collaborations that have the specialist knowledge, compassion for people, and drive to push for long lasting change. Collaborations may have the opportunity to extend by a further year with an additional £50,000. This funding cannot be used to fund direct delivery of services and is exclusively to support partnerships to influence locally and regionally. The programme aims to support small local charities that partner with other charities, grassroots organisations, community groups, and local partners to support people facing complex issues and barriers.
