The Ann Rylands Small Donations programme makes grants to support charities’ core costs with a maximum award of up to £5,000.

The programme is designed to help smaller charities provide practical and emotional support to people with – or at high risk of – physical or mental ill health, people living with disability, and their families and carers.

We accept applications from charities which offer practical and emotional support to improve health and care for:

• Older people
• People with disabilities or living with serious illness
• People needing palliative and end-of-life care, or
• People facing challenges with mental health, social exclusion or homelessness
