Active Lives funding

/

Through Active Lives we make grants totalling about £700,000 per year. Due to an extremely high volume of applications we were only able to provide a contribution towards 5% of the applications received in the last funding round.

Therefore, the Trustees have decided to focus our limited resources by prioritising applications which meet all of the following criteria:

  • work with people living with disabilities in the top 10% of areas of deprivation (Indices of Multiple Deprivation decile 1) AND

  • from organisations with a track record of working with this population AND

  • have a robust plan for wider impact of the project through dissemination, training etc

To avoid wasting your time, please ensure you meet our revised eligibility and funding criteria before starting an application.

Type of funding: We will consider applications for capital, project or core funding.

Location of project: Anywhere in the United Kingdom.

Grant amount: We accept applications for £5,001 – £30,000

Grant period: You can apply for a grant spread over 1, 2 or 3 years

All applications to Active Lives MUST:

  • Offer high-impact, life-enhancing opportunities for those who live in the top 20% of areas of deprivation (IMD deciles 1-2)*

and

  • Remove barriers to participation for people with disabilities, especially those living in the most deprived areas (as defined by IMD)*
