Grant News
The Wolfson Foundation invites applications for its Funding for Charities Working with Older People programme. This initiative aims to support UK-registered charities and local authorities that provide care and services for older individuals, particularly those with neurodegenerative conditions or experiencing social isolation. The grant focuses on capital projects that enhance the quality, accessibility, and sustainability of services.
Applicants can request grants ranging from £25,000 to £75,000.
Projects with total costs exceeding £80,000 are expected to secure at least 25% in match funding before submitting a Stage 2 application. The funding is designated for new buildings, refurbishment work, or equipment purchases that contribute to improved service delivery and organisational stability.
Eligible organisations must be UK registered charities or local authorities. If applicable, they should have at least a 'Good' rating from a regulator such as the Care Quality Commission (CQC). Projects should also aim to increase the financial sustainability of the organisation.
Applications follow a two-stage process. The deadline for Stage 1 applications is 1 July 2025. Organisations invited to proceed will have until 1 September 2025 to submit a full application.
