A Transformative Partnership: Lloyds Bank Foundation Funds First Choice Housing
We’re thrilled to announce that First Choice Housing (FCH) has been awarded a multi-year grant from the Lloyds Bank Foundation. This unrestricted funding will support our work from 2025 through 2027, enabling us to stregnthen our services, deepen our impact, and embrace new learning opportunities through the Foundation’s extensive network of charity and private-sector partners.
What the Grant Means for Us
- Define clear organisational development goals
- Allocate resources to key FCH programmes
- Identify areas for staff training and capacity building
This grant doesn’t just cover running costs—it’s incredibly important for ongoing strategic growth that will allow us to support even more people facing homelessness in our community.
Bringing Our Plans to Life
- Building on our mental health and well-being programmes
- Upskilling team members in trauma-informed care
- Strengthening our data and evaluation systems to measure impact
These initiatives will ensure sustainable improvements to client outcomes, while building FCH’s long-term resilience.
“Lloyds Bank Foundation has given us a fantastic opportunity and I’m particularly excited to see how the grant will help us explore more avenues to help those in need of mental health support.”

“The Grant will allow us to meet our most pressing needs, meaning that we can expand on the care, support and supervision we provide our clients. The support we’ve already started to receive to increase organisational capacity and upskill the team is fantastic.”
