Funding to Support Families in Need (UK)

The Trusthouse Charitable Foundation provides grants for voluntary sector organisations delivering family support services across the United Kingdom. These grants range from £10,000 to £100,000, with an annual maximum of £50,000, and can be awarded for project periods spanning one to three years.

Funding can be allocated towards core operational expenses, including salaries, running costs, and project-specific activities, with project costs limited to 50% of the total project budget. The foundation specifically targets organisations with annual incomes up to £500,000, prioritizing those working in the most economically disadvantaged areas - defined as the most deprived 15% of urban regions or 50% of rural areas, as measured by the Index of Multiple Deprivation.

The programme has a particular interest in supporting initiatives addressing complex family challenges, specifically:

  • Early intervention programmes
  • Support for families struggling with addiction
  • Assistance for families of prisoners

Applicants who can demonstrate a track record of successful family support work are especially encouraged to apply. The application process involves two stages: first, completing an online Expression of Interest form, with successful candidates then invited to submit a comprehensive application.

Interested organisations are advised to consult the Trusthouse Charitable Foundation's official website for detailed programme guidelines and full application instructions. (link below).
