Improving Lives Through Advice 2026
We’re launching a new unrestricted 3‑year funding programme for organisations delivering free legal advice services in Scotland, Wales, the Southeast of England, and London.
The aim of the programme is to increase access to justice for communities that need it most.
Applications will open at 12pm on 16 February 2026 and close at 12pm on 16 March 2026, with grants due to start in June 2026.
You’ll find the online application form and eligibility criteria on this page when applications open. There will be an online information webinar at 2pm on Thursday 19 February sign up here: https://us02web.zoom.us/webinar/register/WN_cmpzfi7aS6abafXfXQbr_A
As this programme is distributing funds from a collective action settlement (Gutmann v SW Trains), we will be expecting funded partners to work with us to demonstrate the impact of this funding
For any queries, please contact the Grants team at grants@atjf.org.uk.
Before you apply
Understand the requirements. Each funding round has specific eligibility criteria and application requirements. Make sure you read these carefully before you start your application.
Make sure we’re a good fit. We fund advice organisations that deliver free legal services, we don’t provide grants directly to individuals. If you’re an advice organisation, take a look at our previous grants to understand our current strategic priorities and see if your work aligns with what we’re looking for.
How our funding works
We don’t run regular grant rounds that open at the same time each year. We launch funding opportunities as soon as we’ve raised enough money to do this.
The best way to stay informed is to check this page regularly or sign up for our updates.
