Sir Jules Thorn Charitable Trust
Grants available: £100,000 - £500,000.
Deadline to apply: 28 February.
Who is the funding for?
The Sir Jules Thorn Charitable Trust has opened its Innovation & Improvement in Health & Care Fund for applications from registered and exempt charities in the UK. The fund supports the development of new models of care and the integration of health and care services.
Applications can address care for any area of physical or mental health or disability but must demonstrate that the investment will translate into improved outcomes for people using the service, enhance access to services or improve their resilience.
The Trust will only support projects which are either scalable or replicable by other organisations, and therefore have the potential to deliver benefits beyond a single setting. Projects may involve partners, but the lead organisation must be an established centre of excellence or have the potential to become a leader in its field. The Trust encourages all potential applicants to contact the team before applying to ensure its charity or project meets the proposed criteria.
