Funding for Christian Charities Promoting Social Inclusion

The Anchor Foundation grants up to £12,000 per year to Christian Charities in the UK or overseas that encourage social inclusion through ministries of healing and the arts. Funding can be awarded for up to three years.

The Foundation will consider applications for either capital or revenue funding. Only in exceptional circumstances will grants be given for building work.

Previously funded projects include:

• The Karis Neighbour Scheme which received a grant of £700 for revenue costs at a drop-in centre for women refugees in Birmingham.
• Discovery Camps, which received a grant of £1,500 to subsidise holidays for children arranged by churches in and around Dundee.
• Scargill House, which received a grant of £5,000 to facilitate cross cultural engagement and understanding amongst children using arts based residential courses in Yorkshire.

The next deadline for applications is the 31st January 2026.
