Halifax Foundation for Northern Ireland has announced that they have awarded a further 10 multi year grants as part of their 40th Anniversary celebrations in 2025 through its THRIVE programme.

THRIVE is delivered in partnership with our sister foundations across the UK – Lloyds Bank Foundation for England & Wales, Lloyds Bank Foundation for the Channel Islands, and Bank of Scotland Foundation. This has been made possible thanks to an additional donation from our sole funder, Lloyds Banking Group to celebrate 40 years of grant giving.

THRIVE aims to support charities in providing financial advice, building financial resilience, delivering financial education, or encouraging good financial health among people in greatest need. This could include providing practical financial support, budgeting assistance, help with debt management, financial education, and personalised advice, to help people navigate financial challenges and build long-term resilience

It was a highly competitive process, with a large number of applications received.

However, The Foundation are delighted to publish the list of successful applicants:

• Acorn Women’s Group

In total, £140,954 was awarded to these 10 worthy charities. Congratulations!
