The Deutsche Bank Opportunity Fund aims to support registered charities, community and voluntary organisations which are working to reduce homelessness across Birmingham.

Grants up to £5,000 are available for applicants that seek to:

• Reduce homelessness across Birmingham with a focus on youth services (preferred)

This would include rough sleepers and the ‘hidden homeless’ who exist out of sight in hostels, temporary accommodation such as B&Bs, sofa surfing, squatting or living in conditions of severe overcrowding.

Grants will need to be spent within 12 months of receipt.

Deadline Dates:

• The application deadline is Friday 11th October, 2024.
• Applicants will be notified of their panel decision in the week commencing 25th November, 2024.
