Leeds Building Society Foundation

Grants of up to £100k to support those in need of a safe and secure home, and we want to provide UK-registered charities with grants to support this purpose.

Your project must meet our purpose through one or more of the following criteria themes:

• Financial stress
• Security and refuge
• Quality and suitability of housing
• Health and wellbeing support for those experiencing homelessness

We welcome applications from those who take a Housing First and/or relationship-based approach. In your application we’d like to see evidence of:

• Strength-based practice
• Trauma-informed care
• Psychologically-informed environments

Example projects

The list below indicates potential projects or organisations that may fit our purpose and criteria themes. This list doesn’t include every option, but should give a good idea of what we can fund.

• Health – projects that help those with health needs with housing, adaptations or advice
• Financial stress – projects that help with bills or debt stress
• Security and refuge – projects that support emergency accommodation
