The Stephen Lloyd Awards support early-stage projects aiming to achieve social or environmental change in the UK. The awards were established in memory of charity and social enterprise lawyer Stephen Lloyd, reflecting his commitment to innovation in these sectors.
Shortlisted candidates will be awarded up to £2,500 to develop their ideas and may also access expert guidance.
Successful applicants will receive at least £25,000 in funding, alongside pro bono support from experts in social enterprise.
The funding aims to help ideas progress from concept to implementation.
Individuals who are resident in the UK, as well as UK-registered organisations and charities, are eligible to apply.
Proposals should address a problem systemically and can take various forms, including new enterprises, expansions of existing initiatives, lobbying efforts or policy change campaigns.
The deadline for applications is 8 April 2026.
