Opening on 31 October, grassroots, community led organisations in England will be able to apply for grants to deliver projects within four strategic themes.

The Fund’s themes are A Safe Place to Be, Children Survive & Thrive, Gender Justice, and Mental Health Matters.

Application can be made by eligible groups for up to £10,000 for both project delivery and organisational development.

To apply, organisations must have an annual income of less than £250,000 and must be able to demonstrate how people with lived experience of the issues being tackled are involved in the organisation and the project.

The fund is being managed by the environmental charity Groundwork.

The funding round will open on 31 October 2022 and close on 30 November 2022.
