Funding

Money raised from our dedicated network of Home Instead Offices and external supporters fund groups who support the mental, physical, and emotional wellbeing of ageing adults.

Grants from the fund can be used in a variety of ways to meet the needs and aspirations of people in the area where you live. Groups can apply for a grant ranging between a minimum of £250 up to a maximum of £2,000 to help enhance the lives of individuals and the areas in which they live.

This fund aims to support a variety of projects and activities that make local communities a better place and improve the lives of those within it, such as through sports, arts, education, helping the disadvantaged or improving the environment.

We provide a range of grants for organisations that make a positive difference to those in need. Areas of support include poverty, homelessness, health and wellbeing, education and training. We also provide smaller grants to individuals requiring specialised disability equipment. Our eligibility checker below will help you quickly determine your eligibility to apply for one of our grants and, once an application has been made, our friendly team will support you through the process.
