Influencing policy and practice
We gather evidence and work with government, funders, charities and others to push for changes to policy and practice to help charities thrive and to address the root causes and consequences of complex issues.
Championing Small Charities
Through funding, research and policy work we’re raising the profile of small charities and addressing the challenges they face
Domestic and Sexual Abuse
We’ve invested in new approaches, campaigns and research to influence and improve policy and practice for people who have experienced domestic and sexual abuse and the specialist charities working with them.
Social security
Failings in the social security system means that people facing complex issues are often not getting the support they need. We’re pushing for changes to improve the social security system for those who need it most.
Criminal Justice
We’re helping to shape a more effective criminal justice system through our funding and our engagement with government.
Homeshare
Increased isolation among older people and a lack of affordable rental accommodation for younger people are two of society’s big challenges. Homeshare is a scheme which provides an opportunity to tackle them both.
