Deadline: 26-Sep-22
The Hackney Council is seeking applications for its 2023 to 2026 Person Centred Advice Grant Programme.
The Council is committed to providing grant investment that continues to improve the lives of Hackney residents by supporting organisations with appropriately qualified advisors that openly apply and undertake a systems thinking approach to improving the way their advice services are delivered.
This grant programme wants to support organisations committed to go beyond traditional models for delivering output-focused advice (for example debt, benefits, immigration), recognising the importance of partnership working with other organisations driven by what matters to residents, going beyond just dealing with the presenting ‘advice’ issue.

- Registered charity or Charitable Incorporated Organisation (CIO)

- Community Interest Company (CIC)
- Company limited by guarantee (companies must have asset locks, be wholly not-for-profit and without share capital)

- Have a constitution and registration number.
