The UK Fund offers larger amounts of funding to help you develop work that’s already making a difference. To get funding you’ll need to show what’s working, how you know it’s having a proven impact, and why it’s ready to scale. We do not fund brand-new projects or services. Your work should also benefit communities across the UK, by working in different places or sharing learning between countries.

Your project should go beyond delivering a service. It should help change how systems work, leading to lasting benefits for communities.

Your project must clearly meet one of the following aims:

improve relationships between people with different life experiences
help people and communities meaningfully connect online when it’s hard to meet in person
support people from all backgrounds to influence the future of their communities
help children and young people facing specific challenges to change the systems that affect them
help more organisations to involve and listen to children and young people
