Design for All: now open for applications

DESIGN FOR ALL has been set up to provide 2 to 4 small charities and community organisations each year with professional expertise to get their building projects off the ground.

The support programme provides expert advice for building-related projects in early development. This is often the most challenging part of the project to find funding for. The programme is available to charities, community groups and other organisations that positively contribute to their community and believe in good design. It is available to all England-based charities and community organisations with a turnover of less than £1 million.

This support programme can help with:

  • Brief development
  • Site studies
  • Space and Layout analysis
  • Planning advice
  • Cost advice
  • Structure analysis 
  • Sketch designs
  • Massing studies
  • Environmental analysis
  • Construction method advice
  • Programme (timescales) advice

The closing date for applications is Friday 23rd May 2025.
