About This Opportunity

Thrive is a targeted grants programme developed to support charities providing financial advice, building financial resilience, delivering financial education or simply encouraging good financial health with people living in vulnerable circumstances. This could include providing practical financial support, budgeting assistance, help with debt management, financial education, and personalised advice, to help people navigate financial challenges and build long-term resilience. Unrestricted funding can be used towards core costs, delivery costs, project costs and/or general running costs enabling charities to use their funding in the way that helps them best and deal with challenges quickly and effectively. The programme is open to charities who currently offer financial resilience related activities, including those for whom this is not their core purpose but who intersect with financial resilience issues (e.g., charities focused on homelessness, disability, mental health, domestic abuse). For these charities, unrestricted funding can be used solely on any reasonable costs associated with delivering the focus area of financial resilience. Thrive is delivered in partnership with sister foundations across the UK - Lloyds Bank Foundation for England & Wales, Lloyds Bank Foundation for the Channel Islands, and Halifax Foundation for Northern Ireland - and has been made possible thanks to an additional donation from Lloyds Banking Group.
