This programme is open to charities and CICs with an income over £25,000 working directly or with others to influence those in power to tackle the causes and consequences of complex issues and 
the barriers people face. There is no upper limit for income.
Rising living costs and economic, political and policy challenges are making it much harder for many people. But for people already facing complex issues, the systems designed to support them are not fit for purpose and risk pushing them further into hardship and destitution.
Under this programme, there are three priority themes:
- Social security system
- Accommodation
- Refugees and Asylum Seekers
The programme is particularly interested in proposals led by or actively developed with user groups and/or people with direct lived experience of the relevant issues.
Eligible organisations will be able to apply for a grant of £30,000 - £150,000 over three years.
Deadline for expressions of interest: 19 May 2023, 5pm
