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 Financial Resilience, there is a maximum pot of £110k available in total. Priority will be given to those groups who attended the previous Financial Resilience Fairness Taskforce event, which took place on 28th January 2026.
Projects can be supported over a 10-month period from Oct 2026 to Jul 2027. Level of awards available is as follows:
1) Small Award – up to £10,000. Groups applying must show a willingness to engage with other local groups to show added value and collaborative work.
2) Large Award – up to £30,000. Maximum of x2 awards available at this level. Organisations applying under this strand must deliver the project within a formed partnership with at least one other VCFSE/not for profit organisation. Priority will be given to applications from newly formed partnerships/collaborations with new innovative project ideas.
Further information on eligibility for this round of funding can be found in the criteria document here.
Once you have read the criteria and believe you meet the priorities you can submit an expression of interest (EOI) form online here.
The deadline for EOIs is Monday 8th June 2026 at midday.
