Lloyds Bank Foundation has launched the Local Collaborations programme to provide grants of £100,000 over two years and development support for collaborations led by small charities to influence and achieve change locally around one of three themes:
- social security
- accommodation
- refugee and asylum seeker support.
Funding cannot be used to fund direct delivery of services and is exclusively to support partnerships to influence locally and regionally.
Applications for Expressions of Interest are open until Friday 22nd September, after which you'll be invited to finalise and submit a full application by 26th January 2024. The final decisions for which local collaborations are funded will be in late February 2024.
You can find out more about the grants programme and how to apply at:

For more information, you can sign up to a webinar on Thursday 13th July 10:30am - 12:15pm where Lloyds will discuss the criteria for this programme, who it’s for, and what they’re looking for in applications. You can register for this webinar here. It will be recorded and made available on their website.
