Grants of up to £100,000 Available for Projects Improving Access to Essential Healthcare (UK)

The Vinehill Trust has opened its 2027 Health funding cycle, offering grants typically ranging from £10,000 to £100,000 for UK projects delivering direct healthcare interventions. The Trust is a UK grant-making charity supporting projects in health, heritage and music.

For 2027, funding will focus on rehabilitation or aftercare following physical trauma or surgery, health-related green space projects, and oral and dental health outreach, particularly services for homeless and vulnerable people and rural communities.

UK-registered charities, non-profits and CICs can apply. Public sector organisations, including NHS bodies, must apply with a non-profit lead.

Projects must benefit UK residents with limited access to essential healthcare, with priority given to people affected by poverty, isolation, disability or serious health disadvantage.

Highlights:

  • Typical grants: £10,000 to £100,000.
    • UK projects delivering direct healthcare interventions.
    • Frontline project staff costs can be funded, but general overheads cannot.
    • Projects must demonstrate measurable health outcomes.

The types of projects that could be funded include (this list is not exhaustive)

  • A post-surgery rehabilitation programme providing physiotherapy or occupational therapy for older people or people with mobility difficulties after hospital discharge.
  • A trauma recovery service offering frontline rehabilitation for people recovering from serious accidents or physical injury.
  • An initiative to transform unused urban land into a health-focused community green space, including wildlife habitats and accessible outdoor areas.
  • A mobile / rural dental clinic providing treatment to homeless people or others who struggle to access mainstream dental services.
  • An in-person suicide prevention service providing direct intervention to people at immediate risk.

Applications for the 2027 cycle are open now and close on 30 June 2027.
