Grant News
London Catalyst, a charitable organisation that provides grants to support initiatives addressing the health and well-being of vulnerable individuals in London, has announced that its Main Grants programme has re-opened for applications.
The programme is designed to support registered charities with an annual income of £500,000 or less, focusing on funding new initiatives and the development of services that improve health outcomes, including those related to poverty, housing, education, employment, discrimination, and isolation.
Organisations can apply for a maximum grant of £10,000 for one year, with the opportunity for single or multi-year grants up to 3 years.
Eligible projects must primarily benefit adults aged 18 and above living within the M25.
Previous projects and activities supported include:
- Mental Health Support Programme: London Catalyst funded a project that established a mental health support programme for young adults in underserved communities, providing counselling services and mental health resources to improve well-being
- Community Health Clinic Expansion: Through London Catalyst's support, a community health clinic was able to expand its services to reach more residents in need, offering free healthcare consultations, screenings, and health education programmes
- Homelessness Prevention Initiative: London Catalyst backed a project aimed at preventing homelessness by providing financial assistance, job training, and housing support to individuals facing housing insecurity, leading to sustainable housing solutions and improved livelihoods
The closing date for applications is 15th September 2025.
Our Hardship Grants Programme aims to support vulnerable individuals in emergencies through our partner agencies. Organisations, including registered charity organisations, churches, NHS agencies and Local Authority agencies with direct contact with their beneficiaries, are eligible to apply.
Organisations can apply for 1 year of funding, and the maximum grant is £2,000.
The London Catalyst also runs a Hardship Grants programme. Hardship of up to grants of up to £2,500 can typically be used for food, travel, top-ups for mobile phones, SIM cards, temporary accommodation, personal hygiene, and medicine. The next closing date for applications is 30th July, followed by 15th October 2025.
