Greater Change Foundation focuses on helping people exit homelessness through small, personalised cash grants delivered with a strong emphasis on dignity, choice, and rapid problem-solving. It primarily funds through verified partner charities, youth services, and local authority partnerships, using flexible one-off budgets to cover practical barriers like furnishings, transport, ID, training costs, and short-term bills that can unlock housing or employment stability. The foundation also works with councils and corporate partners to co-fund targeted homelessness interventions that can reduce public costs and improve outcomes.
Mostly one-off, flexible personalised budgets delivered through partner referral organisations, with an average reported spend of about £1,319 per person in 2022/23. It also offers partnership funding to local councils and corporate co-funders for targeted place-based programmes; no unsolicited proposals for the individual grant stream.
