Lloyds Bank Foundation has grants available for small and local charities and Community Interest Companies (CICs) with an income between £25,000 and £500,000. These organisations must be led by and work with Deaf and Disabled people experiencing poverty. Eligible organisations can apply for a three-year unrestricted grant of £75,000, which can be used to support any costs that further the organisation’s social purpose.
Your work should be based on a social model of disability, demonstrating how this understanding shapes your activities and helps amplify the voices of Deaf and Disabled people. You must work directly with Deaf and Disabled individuals over the long term, helping them gain more choice and control over their lives, access their rights and entitlements, and challenge the barriers they face.

Lloyds Bank Foundation will be holding a live webinar on Wednesday 16 July 2025 to talk through the programme. This will include eligibility and shortlisting criteria. There will be an opportunity to ask questions live. You can learn more and sign up for this webinar by clicking here.
