Thrive

Thrive is a targeted grants programme developed to support charities providing financial advice, building financial resilience, delivering financial education or simply encouraging good financial health with people living in vulnerable circumstances. This could include providing practical financial support, budgeting assistance, help with debt management, financial education, and personalised advice, to help people navigate financial challenges and build long-term resilience.

Unrestricted funding can be used towards core costs, delivery costs, project costs and/or general running costs enabling charities to use their funding in the way that helps them best and deal with challenges quickly and effectively.

In addition, this grants programme is open to charities who currently offer financial resilience related activities but for whom this is not their core purpose e.g. we know that many charities have a primary purpose such as homelessness, disability, ethnicity, mental health and domestic abuse and that financial resilience and support intersects with many of these issues. For these charities, unrestricted funding can be used solely on any reasonable costs associated with delivering the focus area of financial resilience e.g. core costs, project costs, delivery costs, salary costs.

Thrive is delivered in partnership with our sister foundations across the UK - Lloyds Bank Foundation for England & Wales, Lloyds Bank Foundation for the Channel Islands, and Halifax Foundation for Northern Ireland - and has been made possible thanks to an additional donation from our sole funder, Lloyds Banking Group.

Thrive will open to applications at noon on Monday 8 September 2025.

Further information, eligibility guidelines and sample application forms will be made available nearer the time. Thrive will be announced on social media before its launch, so keep an eye on our Facebook, LinkedIn and X platforms for more information.
