This funding supports UK charities and local authorities working with disability by awarding grants for capital projects that enhance independent living. Projects must involve new buildings, refurbishments, or equipment with capital costs over £50,000 and funding shortfalls of at least £25,000. Priority is given to initiatives improving access, quality, and sustainability of services, especially for young people transitioning to adult services. Applications proceed through a two-stage process with biannual deadlines.
Eligible applicants are registered charities or local authorities in the UK working with disability. Projects must have capital costs of at least £50,000 with a funding shortfall of £25,000, and meet quality standards such as a 'Good' rating from regulators like CQC or Ofsted.
