Grant News
A new funding opportunity has opened for organisations in England’s debt advice sector, with the launch of the Debt Advice Transformation Fund 2025/26 by the Money and Pensions Service (MaPS).
This £750,000 fund aims to support larger debt advice organisations and membership bodies, particularly those delivering free-to-client services, in driving innovation and improving sector-wide outcomes.
Organisations can apply for grants between £25,000 and £100,000 to deliver projects that transform accessibility, sustainability, and effectiveness in debt advice.
Examples of eligible activity include:
- Research into adviser or client needs.
- Discovery or testing of new approaches to service delivery.
- Exploring shared infrastructure or partnership models.
- Evidence gathering to inform future pilots or investment.
Applicants may apply individually or lead consortium bids; collaborative proposals tackling shared challenges are encouraged. The deadline for applications is 14 November 2025 at noon, and successful applicants must deliver project outputs by March 2026.
Projects should aim for sector-wide benefits and practical solutions, rather than day-to-day operations or internal IT upgrades. Full details, guidance, and application materials are available from MaPS.
