Grants to Improve the Lives of Disadvantaged People (UK)

Members and colleagues of the Yorkshire Building Society can nominate UK Charities to apply to the Yorkshire Building Society Charitable Foundation's Small Change Big Difference Fund. The Foundation aims to help alleviate poverty, improve health, and save lives.

Once nominated, organisations can apply for grants of up to £2,500 to support initiatives that benefit vulnerable groups in the UK, including children, the seriously ill, the elderly, the homeless, and people with disabilities.

Funding can be used for projects or items that make a positive difference, such as sensory toys for children with special needs, social activities for the elderly, or staff training for programme delivery.

Priority will be given to organisations with an annual income under £100,000 and those supporting marginalised communities.

The next application deadline is 31 March 2026.

To access the funding, charities should encourage supporters who are members or colleagues of the Yorkshire Building Society to nominate them for potential funding opportunities.
