Makes small grants (up to three years at a maximum of 3,000 per year), for running costs and salaries, to small charities in England and Wales. Grants are to help sustain existing work with:

• Elderly people
• Children and young people aged 5 – 25
• People with disabilities or mental health problems
• People trying to overcome life-limiting problems of a social, rather than medical, origin – such as addiction, relationship difficulties, abuse, a history of offending
• Education and learning (with a particular interest in people who are educationally disadvantaged, whether adults or children)

Applicants must have a total expenditure budget of less than £40,000 a year and they will only fund running costs.
