James Tudor Foundation’s Physical Health Grants – Applications Open 1 July
Support for health charities addressing unmet needs within the UK
UK charities working in physical health, with a focus on therapeutic interventions, health information and direct healthcare, can apply for grants of up to £25,000 from 1 July.
Through this programme, support is given to:
- Evidence-based physical therapies for:
- People living with neurodegenerative physical conditions and/or neuromuscular conditions
- People living with physical disabilities
- People recovering from life-changing injuries
- Specialist, single-condition charities – typically these are national charities that provide information about a specific condition via nurse-led helplines and via digital and print materials.
- Charities whose main focus is delivering direct healthcare services to these inclusion health groups
- People experiencing homelessness
- Street sex workers
- Vulnerable migrants
- Air ambulance charities operating in South West England, Wales, Scotland, and Northern Ireland
Applications will be accepted from UK-registered healthcare charities with an annual income below £20 million and at least five years’ audited or independently examined accounts. To be eligible, UK registered charities must be delivering services in the UK.
Priority is given to:
- Charities that address unmet needs, demonstrate sector expertise, and have a clear, well-defined strategy.
- Charities providing condition-specific information.
- Organisations whose services are delivered by qualified specialist professionals.
In addition, priority may be given to charities that:
- Support individuals with life-limiting and / or degenerative conditions.
- Are PIF Tick certified and / or Helplines Partnership members.
- Provide their services free of charge or at a highly subsidised rate.
- Are primarily reliant on charitable trusts and foundations.
The funding is flexible, designed to contribute towards overall service delivery. However, grants can also be made for a specific project.
There is a two-stage application process. This new round is for projects to be funded in spring 2027.
