Luton Innovation & Collaboration Fund
As part of Luton Borough Council’s groundbreaking Fairness Taskforce, and thanks to funding received from the National Lottery Community Fund, BLCF are working with local partners to offer a new fund to deliver actions of Luton’s Fairness Taskforce.
For this round of the fund, which is focused on Work & Skills, there is a maximum pot of £110k available in total. Priority will be given to those groups who attended the previous Work & Skills Fairness Taskforce events.
Projects can be supported over a 10-month period from November 2026 to August 2027. Level of awards available is as follows:
Awards from £5,000 up to £30,000. Groups applying must show a willingness to engage with other local groups to show added value and collaborative work. Priority will be given to applications from newly formed partnerships/collaborations with new innovative project ideas. Innovation can include trying new ideas, working with new partners, building on approaches that have worked elsewhere, or finding new ways to help people overcome barriers to work, training and skills.
Further information on eligibility for this round of funding can be found in the criteria document here.
To apply for this funding, you must attend a short meeting with the team at BLCF to talk through your idea to ensure you are eligible for this fund ahead of completing an application form. Please book a meeting here. If you cannot make these dates, please email [email protected] and we will try to accommodate.
