The National Emergencies Trust is announcing new partnerships with Age UK, Heads Together and Shelter, who will each receive a share of £12million in Coronavirus Appeal funds ring-fenced to target specific at-risk groups across the UK.

Each partner will receive funding to help groups disproportionately impacted by the pandemic, with a focus on remote services, including helplines and digital services. These have seen significant increases in demand since March, in particular from those seeking support from the charity sector for the first time.

From the Scottish Legal Aid Board:

Funding of up to £3.25 million is to be made available for a three-year programme to support access to debt advice in Scotland ...

The Covid-19 pandemic presents new challenges for the advice sector. Agencies have been rapidly refocusing working practices to enable continuity of advice and the impact of the pandemic may lead to a long-term increase in the need for formal debt advice solutions to be provided remotely.

The Debt Advice Journey Programme will fund projects designed to improve access to free debt advice by assisting with the development of changes to working practices that help manage demand on services and improve people’s experience of seeking advice.

The funding forms part of the Financial Services Levy for debt advice allocated by the Scottish Government. The programme will be managed by the Scottish Legal Aid Board (SLAB) to make funding available to test ideas that assist clients and allow existing debt advice staff to achieve a more effective resolution of debt problems within free advice services.

The Debt Advice Journey Programme objectives are to manage demand for debt advice and improve ways of working at key stages of the delivery of debt advice in free advice services. This work builds on the direction set out by Scottish Government through the Debt Advice Routemap which includes a vision for future allocation of the Scottish debt advice levy funds.

Applications for funding will be invited by SLAB shortly, with up to £650,000 available this year and up to £1.3million available in the two subsequent years. Successful projects will run to March 2023.

SLAB will welcome applications from agencies that provide free debt advice and access to statutory debt remedies, including Citizens Advice Bureau, independent advice agencies, law centres and local authorities.’

Charities with more data “find it easier to unlock government money”, the minister for civil society said yesterday.

Baroness Barran also defended the government from criticism over the amount of data demanded from charities applying for grants.

Speaking at the NPC Ignites conference, Baroness Diana Barran said that government and charities both have a “moral responsibility” to collect and share data as part of spending public funds.

... The minister also said that £200m in emergency funding that was promised to small and medium-sized charities in April and distributed through the National Lottery Community Fund, “is nearly all out now”.

However, she could not confirm that every grant will have reached charities by the end of this month, by which time more than seven months will have passed since the support was first announced.

Justice Select Commitee has published the govt’s response to the Committee’s August 2020 report on the impact of COVID-19 on the legal professions in England and Wales.

One of the Committee’s recommendations had been:

We recommend that the Ministry of Justice considers further grants for law centres and other not-for-profit legal services providers that are at risk of collapse. The Ministry of Justice should report back to us with its decision and provide its reasons if it decides not to provide such grants, and state what provision it will make for users of the centres that cease operations.

Govt’s response:

We agree with the Committee that Law Centres and other not-for profit providers play a vital role in helping people in communities across England and Wales access justice and resolve their legal problems. Over the past few months, the importance of these services has been brought into sharp focus and many providers have gone above and beyond to ensure vulnerable people across society can continue to get the help they need.

That is why, as a priority, the Government secured £5.4m in emergency grant funding to not-for-profit providers to ensure the people in the communities they serve can continue to access the help they need.

We are also continuing to work with our delivery partners - the Access to Justice Foundation and the Law Centres Network - and practitioners from across the not-for-profit advice sector to ensure people across England and Wales are effectively supported to access justice, as part of our wider work on legal support.

More broadly, we also continue to move forward with our £3.1m Legal Support for Litigants in Person (LSLIP) programme, a two-year grant funding pot also being delivered in partnership with the Access to Justice Foundation. The new programme is designed to provide services at local, regional and national levels with the aim of understanding more about how they can combine to help vulnerable litigants in person. To date, more than £500,000 of grants have been awarded to a number of charities to provide the new national-level services:

- Support Through Court (STC) and RCJ Advice – who are piloting a new remote support initiative, as well as adding new referral routes to STC’s existing telephone helpline.
- LawWorks – who will scale up their Free Legal Answers (FLA) website, which enables people on low incomes and not eligible for legal aid to access free, initial legal advice provided by registered pro bono solicitors.
- Law for Life – who will add new resources to their Advicenow website to assist people to deal with a range of legal problems, as well as creating new guidance to help individuals appear in virtual courts effectively.

A further £2 million of funding from the programme will be awarded to smaller not-for-profit organisations at regional and local levels this autumn. Distribution of this funding was moved back in order to give those organisations more time to manage the impacts of the COVID-19 pandemic and put together their proposals.

For London orgs ... Wave 5 of the London Community Response is now open:

Renewal grants are for up to £50,000 to enable you to deliver work linked to these missions, over the year starting from April 2021.  Renewal grants can either be for a specific project, for a partnership, or for the core costs of running and growing your organisation.

Mayor of London: Advice in Community Settings Grant Programme

Access to good quality, free, and independent advice is a hugely important part of supporting people to escape or prevent financial hardship. However, an unprecedented rise in demand set against a backdrop of a decade of funding cuts to advice services means that far too many Londoners are unable to access the advice and support they need in their local communities.

This project invites organisations to either develop new partnerships or strengthen existing ones to respond to the needs of their local communities. It encourages organisations to work in partnership to deliver advice to best support their residents or the communities they serve.

The programme has two stages:

- Stage 1: Support partnerships between community settings and providers of advice. Between £5,000 and £7,500 is available for each partnership.
- Stage 2: Fund these partnerships to deliver targeted interventions to help families or individuals on low or no incomes to access advice and support.

The deadline for partnerships to apply to take part is 12pm, Friday 7 May 2021

From 2021, The Fore is returning to its standard offer of grants of up to £30,000, which can be spread over up to 3 years. We make unrestricted grants which have the potential to have a transformational impact on an organisation ...

The Fore is particularly looking to fund small organisations working with marginalised groups and led by people in the community that may have found it hard to access trust and foundation funding in the past. We want to be different. Our funding process is specifically designed to level the playing field and give no advantage to those with fundraising experience or connections.

Any registered charity, CIC, CIO or Community Benefit Society with turnover of under £500,000 in the last financial year is eligible to apply.

Govt has announced that an additional £2 million is being invested in the Community Justice Fund.

Administered by the Access to Justice Foundation, the CJF is a joint initiative between Advice UK, Law Centres Network, Citizens Advice, the AB Charitable Trust, Indigo Trust, the Paul Hamlyn Foundation and others:

The extra money follows a £5.4 million government grant for the initiative last year. It will enable specialist organisations to further invest in technology to allow remote access to services through platforms such as Zoom and Teams, hire more staff and ensure their vital services remain available despite the challenges posed by the pandemic.

The move will also ensure a greater number of people can access support to resolve their issues more quickly, and away from the courtroom – helping to alleviate pressure on the justice system.

Large charities received more than a quarter of emergency Covid-19 government funding aimed at smaller community organisations, it has emerged.

Hundreds of grants from the Coronavirus Community Support Fund (CCSF) were awarded to charities with incomes over £1m, even though the fund was established to help small and medium-sized charities cope with the impact of the pandemic.

An independent evaluation of the CCSF by the polling company Ipsos MORI, published this week, showed that one in 10 grants were won by large charities, including some charities worth more than £100m a year.
