Grants Information

Cambridge Link-Up is a community group led by homeless and ex-homeless people. We raise our grant funds through making and selling arts and crafts and other fundraising activities like a sponsored back wax!

Anyone who is homeless, ex-homeless or vulnerably housed may apply for a Link-Up Grant.

We welcome applications for grants that will help you get involved with an activity or opportunity that will bring a smile to your face.

We particularly welcome applications from people who have supported Link-Up by helping out with an event, making things for our stall or getting involved in other ways. Grants are generally not more than £75.

You can apply by filling out our online form. All applications will be considered at the next Link-Up monthly meeting which is the first wednesday of every month at 3pm at 222 Victoria Rd, The Self-Build Meeting Room. You are encouraged to attend this meeting so that you can tell us more about your application.

If you have any queries please call Emma on 07812 782156
