Hardship Fund is now open
The Hardship Fund is a £16.7 million grant programme. It will support third sector organisations in England who are delivering front-line services to the most vulnerable and disadvantaged people in society.
Grants of between £50,000 and £250,000 are available to organisations with an annual income of at least £200,000 that are in financial hardship as a result of the recession, which is impacting on their ability to deliver services in the following areas:
health and social care
housing support
education and training
information, advice and guidance.
