DESIGN FOR ALL has been set up to provide 2 to 4 small charities and community organisations each year with professional expertise to get their building projects off the ground.
The support programme provides expert advice for building-related projects in early development. This is often the most challenging part of the project to find funding for. The programme is available to charities, community groups and other organisations that positively contribute to their community and believe in good design. It is available to all England-based charities and community organisations with a turnover of less than £1 million.
Application for 2024 Design for All has now closed.

L8 MATTERS CLT
L8 Matters Community Land Trust had the prospect of being granted land to develop affordable housing by the City of Liverpool.
In order to do so, they needed some help to produce a capacity study.
Design for All helped L8 Matters to envision the possible layouts, programme, and brief of the Old Public Baths Site in Liverpool.
DEEPLISH COMMUNITY CENTRE
Deeplish Community Centre in Rochdale wanted to create a garden classroom; an adaptable learning space with sustainability aspirations.
To support this, the Design for All team produced a brochure that the community centre team will use for funding applications.
