FUNDING: Welcome for Newcomers Fund – EOI by 26 Aug

This Fund from the Henry Smith Foundation will award around 20 grants to organisations and partnerships delivering specialist support and activities that help refugees, people seeking asylum and other migrants build a sense of belonging.

Grants of up to £200,000 over three years are available to organisations and partnerships that support newcomers to the UK in rebuilding their lives, feeling at home, and becoming active members of their local communities.

This could include immigration advice, housing and welfare support, health and wellbeing services, English language provision, employment support, volunteering, sports, arts and social groups.

The programme is open to charities, CICs and other not-for-profit organisations already delivering established support for newcomers.

Applications are welcomed from organisations or partnerships of all sizes and there are no minimum or maximum income thresholds, although applicants are expected to be able to demonstrate their capacity to manage a grant of this size.

A webinar recording about the fund is available to view.

Expressions of Interest are open until 5pm on 26 August 2026.
