Helping people to shape their lives
Updated 30 April 2024
The Flexible Frontline Fund, our new and only grants programme, went live on 1 April 2024 and will operate for a minimum of three years. The overarching purpose of the new programme is to increase financial wellbeing and reduce financial distress for individuals living in financial hardship. Individuals will receive quality whole-person support from frontline organisations and a grant for goods or services.
Grants from the Flexible Frontline Fund are exclusively reserved for the service users of our selected partner organisations. Please be aware that these organisations can only provide grant support for individuals who meet their eligibility criteria and if the organisation has the capacity to take on new service users. These organisations retain complete discretion in deciding whether to accept an individual for support.
If you are an individual or support worker looking for a grant, we recommend that you begin your grant search by going to the Turn2Us grants portal, where a wide range of potential funders can be found.

In 2023, we conducted an extensive recruitment process to select our frontline partners for the Flexible Frontline Fund. This recruitment process has concluded, and we do not foresee initiating a new recruitment round until 2027. Therefore, if you are not already one of our frontline partners, you will not have access to Glasspool funding at this time.
