Grant News

Charities, community groups, and social enterprises in England can apply for up to £2,500 in seed funding to support sustainable initiatives aimed at reducing social isolation and enhancing the well-being of vulnerable people in their local areas.

The funding is provided by Turning Point, a health and social care organisation, through its Community Innovation Fund. Eligible activities should promote physical activity, foster social connections, teach new skills, encourage volunteering, and practice mindfulness.

Previously funded projects include a community crafting club, a sensory garden, a pottery course, and a storytelling club for men recovering from addiction.

Groups can apply through nominations from Turning Point teams in the areas where Turning Point operates.

Applications can be submitted at any time, and will be considered in the next funding round in spring 2025.
