The Leeds Building Society Foundation offers grants to UK registered charities for projects which address one or more of the following themes:
- Financial stress – projects that help with bills or debt stress
- Security and refuge – projects that support emergency accommodation
- Quality and suitability of housing
- Health and wellbeing support for those experiencing homelessness
Applications are welcome from those who take a Housing First and/or relationship-based approach. Applications should show evidence of:
- Strength-based practice
- Trauma-informed care
- Psychologically informed environments.
Depending on their annual turnover, UK registered charities can apply for:
- Small Grants of between £250 and £1,000 to charities anywhere in the UK that have a turnover of less than £1 million. The funding is to be used for projects that support those in need of a safe and secure home. Grants are only for capital expenditure (that is, to purchase items used to directly help those in need).
- Large Grants of between £25,000 and £100,000 for charities with a turnover of £5 million or less (new turnover limit, previously there was none) who are based in or delivering work in Yorkshire and/or the North East of England. The grant can be a one year grant, or split across two or three years and can support new work or existing work and fund core, project and/or capital costs.
