Third sector organisations supporting Londoners facing sexual and domestic abuse and homelessness are being encouraged to apply for London Councils’ new four-year grants programme.
The new grants programme, which will run from 2022 to 2026, is funded by London’s boroughs and will provide support to London’s most vulnerable residents.
The Rough Sleeping Programme Director will work with London local authorities, the GLA, central government, health services, and other partners to help co-ordinate strategy and improve outcomes for rough sleepers in the capital.
