The Frontline Fund supports unique and essential projects from organisations across the UK that offer individuals safe housing and support services.

The fund has given more than £1.5 million in three years to six projects across the UK. The current projects particularly focus on helping people with youth, LGBTQ+, legal, migration, health, and mental health related issues. All of our larger grants aim to foster long-term collaboration, learning and innovation in the homelessness sector.

The Frontline Fund funding was allocated to:

TGP Cymru

TGP Cymru is a leading independent Welsh children’s charity working with some of the most vulnerable and marginalised children, young people, and families in Wales. Helping individuals access appropriate services in health, education, and social care – TGP Cymru works tirelessly to ensure everyone has a voice to have a say in their future. With your support, they will continue to support the young people across North Wales that do not have a safe place to call home.

Caring in Bristol

Caring in Bristol deliver projects around homelessness that engage a community of volunteers, bringing people together to make change. Like St Martin’s Charity, Caring in Bristol are striving to create a society where everyone has a home and works hard to prevent people becoming homeless in the first place. With your help, they will be able to support more young people experiencing homelessness in Bristol, through their ambitious “Project Z”.

LSA

Believing that everyone is entitled to specialist legal advice when they need it, LSA works to prevent homelessness alongside other valuable services. Thanks to your generous donations, our funding will help their services focusing on early intervention, preventing homelessness for people who have been in contact with the criminal justice system.

akt

akt supports LGBTQ+ young people aged 16-25 in the UK who are facing or experiencing homelessness or are living in a hostile environment. Not only do they support individuals into safe homes, but the charity also ensures young people have access to employment, education or training in a welcoming and open environment that celebrates LGBTQ+ identities. Thanks to your support, our funding will help their work with young people who identify as trans, providing them with the support they need to access accommodation, allowing them to feel safe and end their homelessness.

Pathway

Pathway is the UK’s leading homeless healthcare charity, working with partners to create improved models of care for people experiencing homelessness. Their purpose is to improve the health and wellbeing of people experiencing homelessness by developing and sharing best models of care, increasing specialist skills of workers in healthcare, influencing policy and reducing stigma in healthcare against people experiencing multiple exclusion. Thanks to your support, they will be able to provide the legal advice needed in securing more stable outcomes for our patients and help improve even more lives across the UK.

Extern

Extern is a leading social justice charity across the island of Ireland who speaks up for and supports more than 21,000 children, young people, individuals, and families each year to overcome challenges, empower positive change and support family unity. Your support will help fund their work offering counselling to vulnerable people, who often are unable to access many mainstream services due to having been engaged within the criminal justice system.

“Often people are asked to move services, and this requires people to build new relationships and retell their story. We often find people slip through the cracks here and return to services that they trust but from which they may no longer be able to access support.”
