Health Data Research UK (HDR)

Is offering grants of up to £3,000 for up to 20 community leaders across the UK.

The funding is to design and deliver activities between 8 February and 20 June 2027 that engage communities with the role of data in supporting health and wellbeing and gain skills, knowledge and connections along the way.

Community leaders should be working with one or more of the following priority audiences, based in the UK:

• People from low socio-economic backgrounds
• People from minority ethnic backgrounds
• Older children and young adults aged 11–25 (especially in areas of deprivation)
• People over 65 (especially in areas of deprivation)
• People living in rural areas (defined as settlements of fewer than 10,000 people in England and Wales, fewer than 5,000 in Northern Ireland, and fewer than 3,000 in Scotland)
• People experiencing digital exclusion.

And they need to deliver activities that engage their community with the role of data in exploring at least one of the following priority health and wellbeing issues:

• Brain health (for example, dementia, Alzheimer's, etc.)
• Cancer
• Environment and health (for example, access to nature, air pollution, etc.)
• Heart health
• Sustainable and healthy diets (for example, eating locally sourced foods, reducing food waste, etc.)
• Young people's mental health.

It is not necessary to have any experience of data, science or research to take part. Community leaders need to be at an established UK-based community organisation with an organisational bank account and provide evidence that they could act as a champion for data in their communities. Deadline 2 November 2026.

Mayor of London’s Rough Sleeping Fund

Organisations across London can apply for funding to deliver innovative projects that improve outcomes for women and for people with the protected characteristic of gender reassignment, who are at risk of or currently experiencing rough sleeping in the capital.

The Mayor's Specialist Rough Sleeping Fund will provide grants of up to £1.2 million per year for three years for organisations with a relevant track record and experience that are able to provide emergency accommodation options for service users.

 Funding is available for innovative approaches that increase specialist capacity, address gaps in existing provision, improve access to services, and contribute to wider system improvements.

Applicants should also demonstrate how their project will contribute to the following outcomes:

• Prevention and Early Response: The intended cohorts are identified and receive timely support, reducing the likelihood of first-time or repeat rough sleeping.
• Safety, Wellbeing, and Access to Specialist Support: The intended cohorts:
  • Experiencing improved safety, stability, and wellbeing, through access to support that promotes dignity, privacy and safeguarding.
  • Can access specialist, trauma-informed, culturally competent and inclusive support that is responsive to differing needs and experiences, including multiple and intersecting disadvantages where relevant.
• Accommodation Pathways: The intended cohorts, including those with unclear or limited immigration entitlements, can:
  • Access emergency accommodation.
  • Move towards longer-term, settled accommodation.
• System Coordination and Learning:
  • Statutory, specialist, and community organisations work more effectively together to maximise impact and improve pathways into support.
  • Sector learning on accessibility, quality, and effectiveness of services is improved, including through coproduction with those with lived experience and robust data collection.

Eligible costs include accommodation costs, overheads, staffing, training, partnership delivery, service user costs, training, monitoring and evaluation. Priority will be given to proposals that include self-contained units or single-room provision and those that include match funding to enhance the impact of the fund.

Partnership applications are encouraged to facilitate high specialist services and address intersectional needs. Deadline 9 November 2026.

The Henry Smith Foundation

Offers grants for recreational trips in the UK, Isle of Man or Channel Islands for children up to and including 13 years old who face financial hardship, systemic inequity or disability.

The Foundation offers this funding to help children who experience inequity and/or are disabled to go on fun trips. Priority is given to fun and new experiences, such as camping, adventure activities, or visits to the seaside.

Youth groups and UK-based, non-profit groups (with an organisational income below £2 million) and schools in the UK are eligible to apply.

Priority will be given to projects that will benefit disadvantaged and disabled children in the most deprived areas in the UK, based on the National Indices of Deprivation. For groups of children with disabilities, more flexibility will be given regarding the level of deprivation.

Grants between £500 and £3,000 are available for either a day trip or holidays up to seven days in length. This could be to a countryside or city location, but must be outside the children's immediate locality. Day trips should not involve a disproportionate amount of time spent travelling. 

Applications should be received at least six weeks before the date of the trip to allow for administrative processing and decision making.

Applications are currently being accepted for holidays taking place between 1 October and 31 December 2026.  Deadline 19 November 2026.

The Angus Irvine Playing Fields Fund

Is offering grants, mostly from £2,500 to £5,000, to local community groups and sports clubs (with priority given to sports clubs) who are based in Greater Manchester, Oxfordshire, Greater London, or the West Midlands Combined Authority and who are based in or serving a borough or ward within the top 20% Indices of Multiple Deprivation.

The funding is intended to improve the lives of children and young people, enabling them to access the transformative benefits of inclusive community sport.

Applications can be made for grants towards some or all the following types of projects with the intention of growing capacity to reach more young people:

• The development and improvement of playing fields and other facilities.
• The delivery of projects and programmes to prevent youth crime and anti-social behaviour.
• The development and training of volunteers including the provision of qualifications.
• The development of long-term sustainability, for example marketing and finance expertise.
• The organising, coaching and other key operational costs of running sports activities.

Activities must focus on including young people (age 5 years to 18 years old) who otherwise be excluded from sport such as:

• Disadvantaged young people.
• Women and girls.
• Young people from minority ethnic communities.
• Young offenders and those at risk of offending.

The funders are looking for projects that provide a competitive cost per new participant from within the designated target groups and that have a commitment to long-term sustainability. Deadline 18 December 2026.
