Selected to make on impact on a pressing social issue.

We invest in organisations that help people in great need - and often less popular causes. Past programmes have tackled domestic violence, social exclusion and dementia.

How we select partners

Following research and consultation with our Trustees, staff committees and the voluntary sector, we invest in organisations whose projects are innovative, sustainable and capable of being replicated elsewhere.

Partnerships are typically for 3-5 years.

We only accept applications from those organisations who have been invited to apply.
