Grant News
The Prudence Trust has launched a new funding opportunity for charities to enhance their ability to gather and make use of data from their work and to utilise this in improving their services. The Strength in Data 2025 Fund will make £1 million available to award 5-6 grants of varying sizes over a three-year term.
Eligible organisations can apply for grants to cover salaries, software, consultancy fees, and training expenses.
To qualify, applicants must be UK-registered charities or Community Interest Companies (CICs) with an annual income exceeding £250,000 and at least two years of published accounts. They should work exclusively with young people aged 10-30, provide direct mental health support—such as talk therapy or socially prescribed activities for those experiencing anxiety or depression—and already collect mental health or wellbeing data.

This includes upskilling staff responsible for monitoring and evaluation, funding dedicated data roles, and acquiring necessary software or hardware to enhance data infrastructure.
