The Greater Manchester Mayor’s Charity has announced that the Routes Home Fund is open for applications, offering £12,500 grants for 12 months to organisations tackling homelessness across Greater Manchester. The programme is delivered in partnership with the Charity Service and the Booth Centre.
Registered charities, community interest companies, and constituted community groups can apply if they have been active for at least three years, have a track record of tackling homelessness, and annual expenditure of £1 million or less. Funding decisions will be made by people with first-hand experience of homelessness or homelessness services.
Priorities include:

isolation and empowering people who attend
Priority will be given to locally embedded organisations encouraging participation and volunteering.
Applications close at 4pm on 13 November 2026.
