Funding Futures: Livewell Foundation Launches New Grant Round at Womble Bond Dickinson
The Livewell Foundation brought together charities, community groups and partners from across Plymouth and South West Devon on Tuesday 7th October for a celebration of local impact and a look ahead to new funding opportunities.
Hosted by Womble Bond Dickinson at their stunning Ballard House offices, the Grant Round Launch Event marked the official opening of The Livewell Foundation’s large grant application window, which is now open for applications.
A Celebration of Local Impact
The event reflected on another successful year for the Foundation, which supports community-led projects that improve health and wellbeing, reduce social isolation and prevent ill health across the region.
In 2023–24, The Livewell Foundation received a £100,000 annual contribution from its sister organisation, Livewell South West, allowing it to award 21 grants projected to benefit over 10,200 people in Plymouth and South West Devon.
Chair of Trustees Chris Davies opened the event, sharing the Foundation’s journey towards two major milestones — its 10th anniversary in 2026 and reaching a total of £1 million in local grant giving.
“We’re proud to have supported so many brilliant organisations making a difference on the ground,” said Chris. “This event is about celebrating that work — but also about making sure that applying for funding feels accessible, encouraging, and achievable for everyone, from grassroots projects to well-established charities.”
Apply Now: Large Grant Applications Open
The Livewell Foundation’s large grant application window is now open, and organisations are encouraged to apply for funding to support projects that make a measurable difference to health and wellbeing in local communities.
Whether you’re a small grassroots group or a long-established charity, the Foundation wants to hear from you.
