Our current strategy at the LEF runs from 2020-2025, so we are in the process of developing our new strategy for 2025-2030. This strategy, which we’ll announce in summer 2025, will maintain our current direction of travel and build on the successful work that we are currently supporting our grant partners with. We will also draw on lessons that we have learned from our current strategy and the challenging operating environment. We will continue to run the Justice First Fellowship and to host the Justice Together Initiative.

Timeline

For our Spring 2025 funding round, we are only considering extensions or renewals of existing grants within our Fairer Systems and Stronger Sector programmes. All eligible grant partners have been contacted, but please contact us if you have queries around this. We’re not accepting new grant applications until summer 2025, when we’ll be launching new grant programmes under our new strategy.

We want to make sure that this period of strategic review causes as little uncertainty as possible for our grant partners. If you have any questions or concerns, please don’t hesitate to get in touch with the LEF staff member who is managing your grant if you are a current grant partner, or contact us via our website.
