Deadline: 30-Jun-25
Does your organisation have a track record of delivering social impact with aims to achieve systemic change for local communities? If so, your organisation may be eligible for a Transformation Grant from Westway Trust.
The Transformation Grants Programme is aimed at supporting systemic change in the communities, particularly focusing on addressing inequalities and advancing social justice. These grants are designed to support needs-based initiatives seeking to fundamentally transform services, policies, and practices to create more equitable and inclusive environments.
With an emphasis on Social Justice, these grants prioritise addressing root causes of inequality, discrimination, and marginalisation. They recognise that addressing systemic issues can be overwhelming.
Funding Information
- They expect to award grants of up to £70,000, lasting for up to a year.
Eligibility Criteria
- They do not expect applications to single-handedly solve complex societal issues. Instead, they are looking to fund projects that aim to create a ripple effect towards initiatives that can spark wider impact, contribute to the national conversation, and set an example or standard for others to follow.
- Voluntary Community Sector organisations with evidence of delivering projects of a similar scale are eligible.
- Organisation
- Registered with Companies House and or Charity Commission.
- Limited companies and registered charities need to have a registered office in the UK.
- Applications from organisations working as a consortium, partnerships, network or group.

- Financially solvent.
- All organisations need to have a UK bank account in the exact name it is applying in (the organisation’s name), with two signatories. A signatory is someone that is authorised to make transactions and manage an account, for example can sign cheques.
Ineligibility Criteria
- The following cannot apply:
- Individuals
- Sole Traders
- Organisations based outside of the UK
