Details

The UK Fund will fund organisations that want to do more to help communities come together and help make us a better-connected society. Your project must either work across the UK, or be able to inform, influence or scale across the UK.

They want to fund projects that:

• strengthen relationships between people whose experiences of life have not been the same. For example, relationships between people of different ethnic backgrounds, generations, occupations or geographies
• create connections between online and offline worlds
• help make sure people from all backgrounds can shape the future of their communities.

They will only be supporting projects that can demonstrate how they will:

• benefit communities across the UK (or have the potential to) - this could be by sharing learning, influencing, collaborating, convening or delivering activity across and between UK countries
• increase their impact – this might be expanding into new locations, developing infrastructure, strengthening delivery or increasing reach
• involve and benefit places, people and communities.
• help children and young people facing specific challenges change the systems that affect them We’re particularly interested in projects which focus on those experiencing poverty, disadvantage or discrimination
• have a positive impact on the natural environment
• share learning openly and be willing to adapt with an interest in working with others across sectors or systems to achieve lasting change.
