The funding is available to UK-based charities, CICs and social enterprises.** The fund is designed to support projects that: * **Focused on care experienced people**. “We work to improve the lives and harness the talents of individuals who have experienced care”. * **Education, connection, experience & fun**. “We focus on making a demonstrable difference to care-experienced people. We support employability in the broadest sense, including training, skills, experience, education and social skills. Our activities will also support advocacy and fundraising for care-experienced people”. * **UK & Channel Islands Projects**. “We support UK based charities and initiatives of any size, as long as there is clear measurable impact and the charity is self- sustainable. The majority of funding will be smaller grants to smaller charities. The Foundation’s mission is that “every child and young person should have a fair start in life, which we know isn’t always the case for people who are care experienced. We will make a difference to care experienced people”. ## Advertisement The deadline for applications to the Building Happier Futures Fund is **17.00 on 25 September 2025**. * **[John Lewis funds 10 extra partner secondments](https://fundraising.co.uk/2010/05/11/john-lewis-funds-10-extra-partner-secondments/)( 11 May 2010) * **[John Lewis Christmas advert includes partnership with wildlife trusts](https://fundraising.co.uk/2016/11/10/john-lewis-christmas-advert-includes-partnership-wildlife-trusts/)( 10 November 2016) * **[John Lewis Partnership announces £1 million fund for circular economy projects](https://fundraising.co.uk/2021/11/22/john-lewis-partnership-announces-1m-fund-for-circular-economy-projects/)( 22 November 2021)
