Henry Smith Charity (The) Strengthening Communities Programme (UK) – Deadline: Rolling
28 November 2023
Grants of between £20,000 and £70,000 per year for up to three years are available to community-led charities and not-for-profit organisations working to support communities in the most deprived areas of the UK. The Henry Smith’s Strengthening Communities programme focuses on supporting the running costs of organisations
working at grass-roots level, to ensure that funding reaches the most disadvantaged areas. The Charity is looking to fund established organisations with a track record of delivering services directly to beneficiaries and want to fund work that enables: • People from across the community to participate in activities that improve connectedness, opportunities, and wellbeing,
• People who are excluded, vulnerable, or facing other forms of hardship to have access to community-based services that support positive lasting change,
• A stronger, active, more engaged community. Funding can be used to increase existing service provision, take on a new staff member, improve sustainability, or cover small capital costs. Applications can be submitted at any time and decisions are usually made within 6 months.
