Supporting grassroots sport across Great Britain

Grassroots sports clubs play a vital role in communities across Great Britain. They bring people together, encourage people of all ages and abilities to get active, and help build confidence, friendships and a lifelong love of sport.

That's why Aldi is proud to support community sports organisations through the Aldi Sports Fund.

Through the fund, eligible sports clubs can receive support towards essential costs such as equipment, team kits, coaching, training programmes and facility hire.

Since launching in Scotland in 2016, the fund has awarded more than £500,000 to over 650 grassroots sports clubs. By expanding the initiative into England and Wales, we are proud to help even more clubs support their communities.

The power of grassroots sport

From first kicks and first serves to finish lines and final whistles, grassroots sport creates opportunities for people to get involved, learn new skills and feel part of something.

Local clubs often rely on volunteers, fundraising and community support to keep going. Funding can help them reach more people, improve the experience for existing members and create a more welcoming environment for everyone.

Whether it helps a club replace worn-out equipment, provide specialist coaching, hire a suitable venue or introduce new sessions, even a relatively small funding boost can make a meaningful difference.

What can the funding help with?

Funding can be used towards a range of essential club costs, including:

Sports equipment

Team kits and clothing

Coaching

Training programmes

Facility hire

Costs that help increase participation

Improvements that enhance the experience for club members

If the funding would help your club grow, welcome more people or make a greater difference in your local community, we would love to hear from you.

The charity is especially interested in practical projects where technology directly improves people’s lives or strengthens how organisations deliver services. Priority themes include digital inclusion, education and skills, improving public understanding of technology, and helping charities use IT more effectively. Funding can support digital services, software, equipment, accessibility tools, AI and robotics, data and analytics projects, websites, apps, and digital training initiatives.

Loans and grants are offered to charities to provide homes for those in need. We invite applications under two programmes:

Project Development Grants

Organisations at an early stage in developing a project can apply for a grant of up to £6,000 for research into the feasibility of proposals to improve, expand or create genuinely affordable, environmentally sustainable rented housing for those in need.

We expect you to employ a suitably qualified person to do the work, not necessarily an architect or a surveyor, if exploring the purpose of your project is the aim of the study.

Please see the guidance and checklist of issues that should be addressed at an early stage of a project.

Grants are paid by reimbursing paid invoices for work that has been completed. If funding is awarded, we require a copy of the report to be submitted along with the claim for reimbursement of approved expenditure.

Capital Loans and Grants

We initially invite a simple Expression of Interest from registered charities.  If selected, you will be invited to submit a detailed stage 2 application.

Interest-free Loans

For projects generating income from rent, we offer interest-free loans up to £30,000 with a 5% administration fee payable at the end of the 10-year loan period.

For awards of over £20,000, we take out a “restriction on title” for properties in England and Wales, meaning the property cannot be sold without our consent - which will be given once the loan is repaid.

Grant Funding

We offer up to £20,000 to housing projects for people designated as having No Recourse to Public Funds (NRPF) under the Immigration Acts.

Eligibility

To be eligible for an award, organisations applying for our support must:

●      Be a registered charity

●      Be an organisation with less than £1.5m annual turnover [we make an exception for Quaker bodies]

●      Operate in England, Scotland, Wales,the Channel Islands or the Isle of Man.

Elise Pilkington Charitable Trust - Equine Grants - apply by 28 Aug

# data[].attributes.body
Equine welfare grants are normally only considered from charities that are members of the National Equine Welfare Council (NEWC) or charities that are proactively working towards membership of NEWC. Membership of NEWC ensures equine charities are working to improve equine welfare standards and adopting industry best practice.

The Trust is particularly interested in supporting initiatives that take a proactive and creative approach to tackling the root causes of welfare issues. Projects may include practical interventions, education, or other innovative solutions designed to prevent suffering before it occurs. You may include core costs if they directly support delivery of your project (e.g. staff time, rent, utilities used for this work).

Woodroffe Benton - Small Grant Programme - Apply by 31 Aug

# data[].attributes.body
The focus is on projects that support people, particularly those with physical or learning disabilities, to access the natural world and spend time outdoors.

Who can apply:

The Foundation provides grants to officially recognised charitable organisations within the United Kingdom.

Restrictions:

Within these categories, the trustees do not usually make grants for:

Organisations without a Charity Commission registration.

Organisations that have been operating for less than 24 months and therefore do not have at least one full set of Accounts.

Eligible Expenditure

The Foundation provides grants to officially recognised charitable organisations within the United Kingdom only in respect of:

Relief of persons in need, hardship or distress by reason of disaster or as a consequence of social or economic circumstance.

Provision/Maintenance of care and accommodation for the sick and elderly.

Promotion of education - in particular within the Derbyshire region.

Environmental Conservation/Preservation/Protection/Improvement - in particular where this would encourage the provision of access by members of the general public.

Human physical well-being – but applicants should note that funding in this area is proactive and the trustees will not make grants in response to unsolicited applications

# data[].attributes.attachment_link.readable_text
Our Small Grant Programme is open from 1st to 31st August 2026, and the focus is on projects in England, Wales, Scotland or Northern Ireland that support people, particularly those with physical or learning disabilities, to access the natural world and spend time outdoors. The funding round will be closed on 31st August 2026 or when 150 applications have been received. Applications that do not fit the focus for this grant round, or our wider criteria for our Small Grant Programme, will be automatically rejected. Applicants are strongly advised to bear this in mind when submitting an application and to check the information on our website, or contact us on secretary@woodroffebenton.org.uk, if they are unsure. Applications submitted in our August 2026 Small Grant funding round will be considered at our Trustees' meeting on 21st October 2026. Successful applicants will be contacted within two weeks of the meeting. As a small organisation with limited administrative resources, we do not routinely contact unsuccessful applicants. Please note: Small Grants awarded in our August funding round will be paid in early December 2026. We have two Small Grant funding rounds each year - in March and August - and each will have a different focus on one or more of the Trustees' key areas of interest. All applications for Small Grant funding must be submitted using the online application form which is accessible from our website during one of our Small Grant Programme application rounds. If you have any queries regarding an application to our Small Grant Programme, please contact us on secretary@woodroffebenton.org.uk
In accordance with the Foundation's objects, funded projects must be made available to all potential users or beneficiaries, regardless of race or religious denomination, and actions taken wherever possible to promote inclusivity. By submitting an application to our Small Grant programme you are considered to have accepted this condition should you be successful in receiving a grant.

Areas of funding focus

The Foundation provides grants to officially recognised charitable organisations within the United Kingdom only in respect of:

Relief of persons in need, hardship or distress by reason of disaster or as a consequence of social or economic circumstance.

Provision/Maintenance of care and accommodation for the sick and elderly.

Promotion of education - in particular within the Derbyshire region.

Environmental Conservation/Preservation/Protection/Improvement - in particular where this would encourage the provision of access by members of the general public.

Human physical well-being - but applicants should note that funding in this area is proactive and the trustees will not make grants in response to unsolicited applications

Within these categories, the trustees do not usually make grants for:

Organisations without a Charity Commission registration.

Organisations that have been operating for less than 24 months and therefore do not have at least one full set of Accounts.

Organisations that operate primarily outside the UK or for the benefit of non-UK residents.

Places of worship seeking funds for restoration or upgrade of facilities.

Museums, historical or heritage organisations.

Funding of palliative care.

Animal welfare organisations whose primary purpose is not conservation of the environment except for those that help the survival of wild species in the UK.

Students requesting a grant for tertiary education or a gap year.

Educational organisations based outside the Derbyshire region - although the trustees may choose to do so.

Bodies affiliated to or a local "branch" of a national organisation, unless they have a separate charitable number and receive no financial support from the national charity. Applicants will be asked to make a declaration confirming this when they complete our on-line application form.

Funding approach

What size grants do you give? Applicants to our Small Grants programme can receive one-off grants in the range £500 to £2,500. We do provide larger grants, which can be spread over several years, but these are made proactively and we do not accept unsolicited applications to this programme.

When are applications considered? There will generally be two Small Grant funding rounds each year in March and August. The Trustees will determine the focus for each funding round at least one month in advance of the opening date. Meetings of the Trustees are usually held four times a year in the second or third week of January, May, July and October. Decisions will be made at the May meeting regarding Small Grant applications submitted in March and at the October meeting regarding Small Grant applications submitted in August.

Who is eligible for a grant? Charitable organisations based in the UK that are registered with the Charity Commission for England and Wales, the Office of the Scottish Charity Regulator or the Charity Commission for Northern Ireland are eligible to apply for a grant. Any educational institution is also eligible to apply for a grant whether or not it is a registered charity. The Trustees will generally only fund organisations which have at least one full set of Accounts following charity registration. The Trustees prefer to support smaller charities since modest donations are capable of providing potentially greater benefit in such cases. Consequently, it is unlikely that organisations with an annual income in excess of £750,000 will be provided with a grant under the small grants programme. As stated above, the trustees will only support bodies affiliated to a national organisation provided it has a separate charity number and receives no direct financial support. The trustees do not make grants to charities outside the UK.

What do you fund? The Trustees are happy to contribute to core operating costs from their Small Grants programme rather than to a specific project where the funding will be legally "restricted" or to capital expenditure - applications in these latter categories are, however, not excluded.

How do I apply? All applications to our Small Grants programme must be submitted using the electronic application form which can be accessed from our website. We do not require any additional supporting documents. We generally will not accept applications submitted in hard-copy or by email. The Trustees are unlikely to approve grants to applications with incomplete or inconsistent financial information.

How do I know if my application has been successful? The Trust has limited funds available and therefore the Trustees much regret that they are unable to help every eligible organisation that applies for a grant. We will contact successful applicants as soon as possible following the meeting at which their proposal has been considered. We generally do not contact unsuccessful applicants as we are a small organisation with limited administrative resources. Although we are always happy to respond to enquiries or queries, the Foundation does not generally provide feedback on why an application was unsuccessful. If you do not hear from us by the end of the month in which the meeting took place, it will normally mean that your application has not been successful.

How frequently can we apply? The Trustees will not provide multiple grants to the same charity in a 12 month period. Organisations that have submitted an unsuccessful application should wait for 12 months before submitting a further application.

What do I do if I have any questions or need guidance on submitting an application? You should contact the Secretary on secretary@woodroffebenton.org.uk or by using the contact form on our website.

Lloyds Bank Foundation’s first step in ensuring that everyone in England and Wales has a home that’s a good place to live.

When circumstances change, people are at a bigger risk of becoming homeless than at any other time.  Lloyds Bank Foundation is backing local organisations that work to help people keep a safe place to call home and build a new beginning.

Through fund will support organisations that work with individuals who have been identified as most at risk of homelessness, including young people leaving care, domestic abuse survivors, prison leavers and when someone leaves the asylum system upon receiving the right to remain in the UK.

Community organisations are already providing vital services for people at these critical turning points and through this fund, the Foundation will stand alongside them, providing long-term, unrestricted funding and development support to help strengthen their impact and reach more people.

If your organisation works with people at risk of homelessness, we encourage you to explore the fund, find out about your eligibility and consider whether the New Beginnings Fund could help you achieve your goals.

Grants ranging from £500 to £3,000 are available for schools, youth groups, non-profit organisations, and charities to support recreational trips or holidays within the UK for groups of disadvantaged or disabled children 13 years old or younger. Applications from the 20% most deprived areas in the UK will be given priority.

The grants can cover up to two-thirds of the total cost of a holiday or trip, lasting from one to seven days. The Henry Smith Charity is offering the funding, and applications must be submitted at least six weeks before the scheduled trip or holiday.

Applications for trips between 1 May and 30 September 2026 are open from 20 March and 19 August 2026. Applications for trips between 1 October and 31 December 2026 are open from 20 August and 19 November 2026.

The Holiday Grants Programme offers one-off grants for schools, youth groups and non-profit organisations to take children aged 13 and under on recreational day trips or short residential trips.

We know that memorable experiences can have a lasting impact, boosting wellbeing, building confidence, and offering a break from daily pressures. This programme helps provide these opportunities for children who face financial hardship, systemic inequity or disability.

We prioritise groups supporting disabled children and those with limited access to funds to go on holiday. In 2024, 60% of grants went to organisations working in the UK's most deprived areas.

Previous slide Next slide

Funding guidelines

Grant amount: £500 - £2,750 per trip

Trip length: A day trip or residential trips of up to 7 days

Timeframe: For trips from May to August, apply between Thursday 20 March and Monday 21 July. For trips from September to December, apply between Tuesday 22 July and Wednesday 19 November.

Age range: Children must be aged 13 or under

Eligible organisations: Schools, youth groups and UK-based non-profits

Trip type: Recreational only - no educational or religious aims

Location: Trips must take place within the UK, Isle of Man or Channel Islands

Deadline: Apply at least 5 weeks before the trip

We prioritise groups working in the 20% most deprived areas across the UK. If your group isn't located in a high-deprivation area but works with children facing significant financial or systemic challenges, please explain this in your application.

We want to help children who experience inequity and/or are disabled to go on fun trips. We fund schools, youth groups, and non-profit organisations planning one-time trips for children aged 13 and under. We prioritise fun and new experiences, such as camping, adventure activities, or visits to the seaside. For groups of disabled children, we look at the group's access needs and the levels of deprivation in your area.

We do not fund trips to high-cost destinations (e.g. theme parks, sporting events), trips outside the UK, trips for children over 13 or for families, trips that have already happened or are less than 5 weeks away, or trips with educational, curriculum-based or religious objectives.

Application process

Before applying, you'll need to complete a short eligibility quiz. If eligible, you can access the application form.

You'll be asked to share information about your organisation, the children you support, and the trip you're planning. This includes a clear budget, risk assessment, and safeguarding details.

We want to understand your community and the value of the trip to the children taking part. Please be as specific as possible about why the experience matters.

What information will I be asked to provide on safeguarding for my trip?

When you apply, you will need to confirm that your organisation has a policy for keeping children safe and that someone is responsible for this.

You will also need to confirm that your organisation regularly talks about safeguarding at the Board (or equivalent) level. These questions help us check that your organisation is serious about protecting children. You can find more help on our safeguarding webpage.

You will also be asked to submit a risk assessment.

More about safeguarding

What information should I include in the risk assessment for the trip?

The risk assessment you give us needs to show:

the risks that could take place on the trip

what you are going to put in place to make sure they do not happen

how likely the risks are to happen.

The risk assessment you give us must not have any personal information (such as children's names or health conditions).

We have provided a risk assessment template to show what we're looking for. You can use this template or submit your own assessment, as long as it includes the information we need.

You can find the example risk assessment below.

What do you mean by 'deprivation'?

We focus on helping children facing financial hardship or living in areas with high poverty. We give priority to groups working in the top 20% most deprived areas across the UK (England, Northern Ireland, Scotland, and Wales), the Isle of Man, and the Channel Islands.

We use national statistics to determine this, looking at factors like low income and limited access to opportunities in your area. You can find out how your local area ranks by using the provided links for the country you live in.

You'll need your organisation's postcode.

England - English Indices of Deprivation

Northern Ireland - Northern Ireland Multiple Deprivation Measure

Scotland - Scottish Index of Multiple Deprivation

Wales - Welsh Index of Multiple Deprivation

If your organisation does not operate in one of the top 20% most deprived areas but supports children facing significant financial challenges or systemic inequities, make sure this is clearly explained in your application.

For groups of disabled children, we are more flexible in our support, and we consider the access needs of your group alongside the levels of deprivation in the organisation's area.

I am experiencing technical issues with the application form. What should I do?

If you are experiencing technical issues with our application form, please refer to the Technical FAQ section below. If this does not solve your issue, please contact us.

How should I best use AI in my Holiday Grant programme application, and where can I find resources for using it responsibly?

We welcome the thoughtful use of AI in applications for the Holiday Grant programme, provided it supports - not replaces - your unique voice. If you use AI, let it help with your structure, but write the words yourself. Also, be sure not to share any sensitive or personal information when using AI.

We have noticed that AI-generated applications can include incorrect facts. If you use AI for research, we suggest using tools that provide links to their sources, like Perplexity. This allows you to double-check the information you are using and make sure it's from reputable sources.

For further guidance on using AI responsibly in the charity sector, please read the Charity Commission's blog post on Charities and Artificial Intelligence.

This blog gives valuable insights into best practices and considerations when using AI tools.

Armed Forces Covenant Fund Trust - Service Pupil Support Programme - Apply by 30 Sep

# data[].attributes.body
Provides £5,000–£150,000 for projects supporting service pupils aged 4–18 in full‑time UK education. Eligible applicants include maintained schools, academies, free schools, sixth‑form colleges, FE colleges, local authorities and MATs. Projects must address at least one theme: closing the academic gap, support for SEND/ASN/ALN, mobility, deployment and separation, or supporting small cohorts of service pupils. Grants fund evidence‑based, standalone projects delivered over up to two years.

# data[].attributes.attachment_link.readable_text
Following the launch of the Families Strategy in January 2022, the MOD created a dedicated fund, 'The Armed Forces Families Fund' (AF3). This programme sits within the AF3 Fund. The MOD has partnered with the Armed Forces Covenant Fund Trust to administer the AF3 Fund.

Under this programme, the Trust will award grants for projects which support Service children along their Educational Pathway.

This funding will enable Service children to reach their full life potential. This programme is primarily focused on schools and local authorities across the UK.
We will expect you to work in clusters and be collaborative.
Applications can only address the needs of children aged 4-18 in full-time statutory education, who are from currently serving Armed Forces families. This includes pupils whose parents are on full commitment as part of the full-time Reserve Service.

This funding is for stand-alone projects lasting up to two years.

Eligibility

We invite applications from local authorities, and schools in the UK which have children of currently serving Armed Forces personnel on roll. Service refers to Regular Forces or Reserves (Full-time Reserve Service).

We can accept applications from:

maintained schools

academies

free schools

sixth form and FE colleges

local authorities

multi-academy Trusts

Specialist educational organisations can be involved in a bid; however, the lead applicant will need to be one of the above. There is more information about this in the Programme Guidance document.

There are two ways in which you can apply for a grant under this programme. We expect that most applications will come through the cluster route. In the context of this programme, we consider a cluster to be a group of three or more school.

Applications from single schools can only be made in exceptional circumstances.

Where possible, you should make your local authority aware of your application - you'll be given the opportunity in the application form to say whether the local authority is supportive of your proposal.

Under this programme we cannot support the following.

Childcare providers (including early years).

Commercial organisations that would seek for their solution to be provided to a school for profit. For example, an organisation could not be awarded a grant to develop a training course which it then charges schools to attend.

Independent (fee-paying) schools including boarding schools, whether or not registered as charities.

Charities and charitable organisations (though they can be part of a project working with an eligible applicant).

MOD schools

Full eligibility criteria is available in the guidance documents below.

What's available

If you are applying for a grant as a cluster, then you can apply for up to £80,000 in total towards a project being delivered over a period of up to two years.

If you are applying for a grant as a single school, then you can apply for up to £40,000 in total towards a project being delivered over a period of up to two years.

Themes and priorities

This year, the programme will prioritise applications from clusters of three or more schools supporting Service children.

Through this programme, we would like to support projects that reach these children, ensuring the needs of Service pupils are met. Projects that support a cluster of schools working together, are considered most likely to provide the best opportunity to reach these small cohorts with high quality and reasonably costed support.

This programme is designed to help support Service children along their educational pathway by:

closing the gap in attainment between Service and non-Service pupils, using data led evidence

addressing the needs of Service pupils with additional needs through early identification and intervention using a collaborative and coordinated approach

identifying and addressing the needs of small cohorts of Service pupils within educational settings.

For the purposes of this programme, we consider a small cohort as where your military child cohort is less than 40%, for primary settings, or less than 10% for secondary settings.

Your project will need to meet at least one of these themes.

This programme is now closed. If you applied by the application deadline of midday on Wednesday 8 May 2024, you will receive a decision before the end of June 2024.
