About Henry Smith Charity - County Grants
***Our County Grant Programme for work in Leicestershire will close in September 2023***
As with many of our grant programmes, we prioritise work that tackles problems in areas of high deprivation. We are looking to fund established organisations that have a track record and are able to show they are well placed to deliver the work they are asking us to fund.
We can only make payments to registered charities through this programme. If your organisation is not a charity, you must nominate a local registered charity to accept payment on your behalf.
Priority is given to work benefitting groups experiencing social and/or economic disadvantage (people with disabilities, for example) and to work that tackles problems in areas of high deprivation (by which we mean areas in the bottom third of the National Indices of Deprivation). These groups include:
Black, Asian and Minority Ethnic (BAME), Carers, Community Service Disability, Domestic and Sexual Abuse, Drugs & Alcohol/Substance Misuse, Ex-Service Men and Women, Family Services, Healthcare, Homelessness, Lesbian, Gay, Bisexual and Transgender, Mental Health, Older People, Prisoners and Ex-offenders, Sex Work & Trafficking, Refugees & Asylum Seekers, Young People.
Grants can be used towards running costs, salaries, project costs, or one-off capital expenditure such as building refurbishment or equipment.
