Funding Priorities for 2025/26
The Fund will seek to fund activities that demonstrably contribute to LHC social value priorities:
- Individual Wellbeing
- Social Mobility
- Planet & Environment
How is the Fund distributed?
We work closely with the LHC partners who have a well-developed knowledge of communities in their areas and experience of investing in various ways. The Fund aims to add value to those resources by working with a project champion within each LHC committee partner.
Committee partners with a fund allocation
Midlands, London and South-East England (LHC) | South-West Procurement Alliance (SWPA) | Northern Procurement Alliance |
Buckinghamshire Council Chelmer Housing Partnership Green Hill Housing Association Havering Council Islington Council Moat Housing Northamptonshire Partnership Homes Southwark Council Vivid Homes Waltham Forest Council | Bournemouth, Poole Christchurch Council Cornwall County Council
Magna Housing Association Selwood Housing Wiltshire County Council | Durham County Council Home Group Johnnie Johnson Housing Northumberland County Council Tawd Valley Developments (WLBC) Tees Valley Education Trust Your Housing Group |
Where partners want to provide grants to community organisations, we can set this up. Where there is a well-developed system of grant-making, we work alongside that.
Where members prefer to identify and champion projects, we will support that process through a transparent assessment process.
Our aims are, through procurement, to deliver better buildings and homes that enhance local communities. Our focus on delivering community benefit is evident in our frameworks and in the Community Benefit Fund we initiated to support social impact schemes.
