Transformation programmes

Selected to create sustainable change through long-term funding and active employee involvement.

The Trust works closely with innovative partners to significantly impact the lives of disadvantaged people.

We invest in organisations that often help 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.
