What this could mean
A potentially relevant large-scale fund for established Leeds VCSE organisations or experienced partnerships pursuing community-led systems change; not a general service-delivery grant.
What remains uncertain
No closing date is stated. The funder's pages still display a 10 October maintenance notice, although the programme, eligibility and application pages are accessible and consistently say the fund is open. Suitability depends on demonstrating all five criteria and capacity to manage a large, long-term award.
