The 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 Main Grants Programme is designed to support organisations with an annual income of £500,000 or less, focusing on funding new initiatives and the development of services that target individuals disadvantaged by long-term ill health, disability, and poverty. The grant aims to address the social determinants of health, with the primary beneficiaries being adults aged 18 and above residing in London (within the M25).
Applicants 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.
