Comic Relief has announced a new funding opportunity for organisations working in youth homelessness and racial justice.

The programme will have two separate funding routes.

The first route will support organisations that help young people aged 16 to 25 who are homeless or at risk of becoming homeless. This includes services such as housing advice, wellbeing support, and help to access education, training, or employment.

The second route will support organisations that work to promote racial justice within the homelessness sector. This includes influencing policy, campaigning for change, and tackling inequalities that affect racially minoritised communities.

Applicants must be UK-based voluntary or community organisations with relevant experience.

Funding amounts and application deadlines have not yet been announced.

Comic Relief has previously funded projects that provide tailored housing support for young people, specialist services for minoritised groups, and work that aims to improve policies and create fairer systems.

More details about eligibility and how to apply will be published before the programme opens.

Further information is expected in the week beginning 30 March 2026.
