Groundswell Grants

Groundswell’s Grant Award Scheme offers grants of up to £700 to homeless people to set up their own projects.

The grant deadlines for 2009 15th July and 15th October.

Groundwell welcomes applications from anyone with experience of homelessness, i.e. rough sleepers, Travellers, squatters, refugees and asylum seekers, residents of hostels and B&Bs etc.; anyone without a secure tenancy.

The project you are trying to set up can be a service user group, an arts group, a business, a charity – any kind of self-help initiative. So far they have given out £150,000 to over 300 homeless-led self-help projects.
