The Scottish Churches Housing Action has a Seedcorn Fund, which gives grants to local groups wishing to get a new homelessness initiative under way. You need not have a constitution, but you must have access to a bank account, and you must be planning an activity to help homeless people in a new way for your area. Existing projects can apply if they need help to start something new. Grants are typically £500, but more is available for the right idea. To find out more click here.
