About This Opportunity

The MSE Charity supports the delivery of projects that help people improve their financial capability—both now and in the future. The charity funds practical, targeted activities that empower individuals to better manage their money and make informed financial decisions. The programme uses a two-stage application process. Funded activities include money management workshops covering budgeting, online banking, financial safety, and understanding UK money systems; volunteer training to deliver workshops or offer peer support; staff upskilling through financial capability training to support clients; and financial inclusion activities for people disadvantaged by age, disability, ethnicity, gender, or other factors. Projects must deliver measurable outcomes within a one-year funding period and demonstrate a clear evidence of need for the proposed financial capability activities.

Duration 12 - 13 mo
Decision Stage 1 decisions notified approximately 8 weeks after deadline. Final decisions on Stage 2 applications made several months after Stage 1.
