The Foundation is interested in funding work which benefits people in the following groups, or generalist work which includes significant numbers from more than one such group:

• Asylum-seekers and refugees (but not groups working with a single nationality)
• Gay, lesbian, bi-sexual or transgender people
• Gypsies and Travellers
• Migrant workers
• Offenders and ex-offenders
• Older people
• People experiencing mental health problems
• People experiencing violence or abuse

The Foundation focuses on work which:

• will make a lasting difference to people’s lives rather than simply alleviating the symptoms or current problems
• is aimed at reducing isolation, stigma and discrimination, and
• encourages or enables unpopular groups to share in the life of the whole community.

The Foundation makes grants for up to three years, with a total value of £500-£15,000, although the average grant size last year was just over £5,650.  More information on the website.
