The Foundation offers quarterly grants to small community groups and local charities across England, Scotland, and Wales for projects that help reduce isolation and loneliness, promote group activities, and generally improve mobility and quality of life for older people and adults with physical, learning, or mental disabilities.

Grants of between £100 and £2,600 are available to help small community groups and local charities with the following:

• Activities.
• Equipment and materials for use by members.
• Transport costs to enable members to attend
• Day trips, outings, and group holidays in the UK.

Priority will be given to innovative projects that help older people and those with a disability to get active, meet people, and reduce isolation.

Small community groups and small local charities based in England, Scotland or Wales can apply. Groups with financial reserves of over £200,000 are unlikely to receive support.

The Foundation introduced quarterly application windows this year.

Applications are accepted from 1 July to 31 July 2026.
