The Leathersellers’ Adverse Childhood Experiences (ACEs) charity grants programme aims to support UK registered charities or charitable incorporated organisations (CIOs) but not Community Interest Companies (CIC) that: 

  • expect to have an organisational  income of £200,000-£2,000,000 in 2025-26
  • have as their core focus, the goal to prevent and/ or reduce the impact of ACEs by providing services to children, young people and/ or adults 
  • can demonstrate that the vast majority of people using the service have experienced ACEs/ are supporting people who have experienced ACEs, such as parents and caregivers
  • use a trauma-informed approach and evidence-based interventions
  • can demonstrate the effectiveness of their approach through evaluation or external research
  • can demonstrate that the voice of service users/ experts by experience informs service design and delivery

If your charity meets the eligibility criteria, you can apply for an unrestricted grant of between £20,000–£25,000 per year for a period of up to four years.The funders have learned that it takes multiple approaches and activities to support people who have experienced ACEs. To date, they have funded a range of provision, including counselling, mentoring, recreational activities, accommodation and community support.To help build on the diversity of activities supported through their main charity grants, they are particularly interested in hearing from organisations using the creative arts, nature and sport to prevent and reduce the impact of ACEs.  Recognising that some communities suffer from a greater likelihood of ACEs due to systemic barriers, applications are welcome from charities who support under-represented groups.
