Small homeless charities can apply for grants of up to £5,000 for projects which aim to help homeless people rebuild their lives, via Help the Homeless.

To be eligible to apply, applicants must be a registered charity and have an annual turnover of under £500,000, with “unrestricted reserves” of under 6 months. Typically, organisations awarded funding operate residential or training facilities to assist homeless people.

Help the Homeless is a grant-giving trust, founded in 1975 to help homeless people off the streets and enable them to live healthy, independent lives. Previously funded projects include the Booth Centre, an advice and activity centre for homeless people in Manchester, which received a grant of £1,500 to transform the centre, and a grant of £3,000 to the Amber Foundation to enable the Foundation to buy new bedroom furniture for their residential centre in Devon.

The next closing date for applications is Monday 15 September 2025.
