In addition to our regular small grants programme, the Trust will consider applications from local charities or health professionals, to support projects that will either provide health related support to disadvantaged individuals living with long term complex needs, or that will support a group of people with medical related support, or that has an element of health prevention.

Our grants criteria mean that projects must support communities with both a medical and financial need, who are resident within the boundary of Brighton & Hove.

Larger grants are typically between £1,000 and £10,000 and will be considered by the Trustees, once a year. 

Our application window for 2026 grant applications is now closed. The 2027 grants programme will open around June/July 2027 – please check back for details.

Examples of projects we have supported in the past include:

• Support for a hospice at home care programme
• Funding to support a charity providing specialist adapted bike rides for people with disabilities
• Support for an organisation providing counselling services to victims of domestic abuse.
• Support for a charity providing dental care to the homeless community
• Support for a charity providing podiatry to the homeless community
• Support for a charity providing holiday schemes for disabled young people

  Charities applying for large grants, are encouraged to also think about whether individual service users may benefit from our individual small grants programme.
