StreetSmart Youth Homelessness Support Fund 2025

LandAid and StreetSmart are inviting charities across the country to apply to our StreetSmart Youth Homelessness Support Fund 2025 with grants of between £2k-£40k.

As a result of the generous support of diners across the country, LandAid and StreetSmart have discreet pots of funding available to support projects across the UK. This means that we have different amounts available across different regions.

Please see below for guidance on how much you can apply for depending on where your project will take place.  
Our project will be delivered in:  You can apply for:

Each line denotes a ‘region’, some regions have more than one location included (e.g. Bristol, Bath and Gloucester) to streamline our processes. You can apply for funding in more than one region but please only apply once within each region. The total you can apply for in each region is indicated in the table. Unfortunately, we are unable to fund projects taking place in locations that are not listed above.

To make the process as accessible and time efficient as possible, there will be two stages to the application.
We are looking for projects that will be able to demonstrate tangible impact in either/both of the following areas: 
  1. Housing – your project supports young people (aged 16-25) into accommodation (i.e. emergency, supported or move-on accommodation)
  2. Employability – your project supports young people (aged 16-25) out of homelessness into education, employment, and training. With a view to enabling their transition to sustainable, independent living.
Project information
  • Any project we fund must take place in a region specified within the table above,
  • Applicants must be able to deliver project outcomes within 12 months of receiving all or initial instalment of funds. We expect to disburse funds (all or initial instalments) by the 31 July 2025, particularly where revenue funding is concerned, 
  • Projects can be revenue, capital or a mixture of the two,
  • We do not retrospectively fund projects, fund projects which are the duty of statutory funders, or projects you could fund yourselves,
  • We welcome partnership applications, with an identified lead partner who will hold the funding and duties associated.

 

Here are some examples of projects we have funded through last years campaign.
