Fundraising Opportunities

The7stars foundation is powered by the7stars. It awards grants to charities supporting young people, aged 18 years and under, across the UK.

Our grants are targeted to further the potential and opportunity of children and young people who are surviving abuse, at risk of or experiencing homelessness, caring for a loved one, and challenged by addiction (either personally or through a member of their family).

All of our programmes look to support young people experiencing challenges related to these funding priorities. We will always look to promote happiness and a feeling of safety amongst the children the charities look after – reminding them that they are cared for and not alone.

All of our grant programmes look to offer a new horizon for vulnerable and overlooked children across the UK. Our foundation trustees meet four times a year to review grant applications the foundation has received and to make grant awards.

‍

2 programmes for funding in the UK – your project must address one of these:

Asylum Seekers and Refugees

Asylum Seekers and Refugees continue to face hostility, challenge and isolation which prevents them being able to fully integrate into society; and some face considerable levels of poverty due to being unable to work or use their skills.

We want to support organisations and projects which provide essential services; which help meet their needs; and which support their participation within the wider community.

Please note that there is a difference between asylum seekers, refugees and migrants with the latter, in most cases, not a priority for our funding. This link provides more information on the differences. If your work includes services to migrants you must clearly demonstrate on your application the scale of the benefit of your proposal to asylum seekers and refugees.

​

Penal Affairs

Whilst custodial sentences are very damaging for all of those affected, research by the Prison Reform Trust shows that women are often more greatly impacted, especially where they have children or other caring responsibilities. During the Pandemic, for example, family visits to prisons were curtailed and many children did not see their parent for over a year.

We want to support work “through the door” where charitable organisations go into prisons with projects and support to help prisoners (especially women) cope and/or maintain family bonds and to be better able to resettle positively when released. Equally we welcome applications for post-release projects which support positive resettlement; re-stablishing family bonds; and a reduction in the likelihood of reoffending.

Please note that job-search/employment agency projects are not a priority for our funding.

We’re pleased to announce that the McCarthy Stone Foundation is awarding grants of up to £7,500 to support over 20 charitable organisations working to reduce loneliness and isolation among older people in England, Wales, and Scotland. We are looking to fund initiatives that help create meaningful social connections for people aged 65 and over, including:- Befriending services, including meal delivery for those living independently- Social groups, such as art classes, dance sessions, lunch clubs, and coffee mornings- Community transport, connecting older people to local activities and servicesPlease note: Dementia-specific charities and groups will not be eligible in this grant round, as we have a dedicated Dementia Grants Programme launching in Spring 2026. In May 2025, this programme awarded £130,000 to dementia-related causes. However, charities that serve a broad older population — including individuals with dementia — are still welcome to apply for a Creating Connections grant.

We only fund organisations whose activities take place within the UK.

The trust has decided to prioritise its funding in favour of charities whose activities involve all or most family members where possible, in initiatives that support and encourage the family to work as a cohesive unit in tackling problems that face one or more of its members. The objective is to reinforce the benefit and support that family members as a unit can give to each other.

The three areas of activity that the charity wishes to support are:

• Interventions that support families and help them in ways that prevent the fracture of the family unit, eg practical family support, relationship counselling, mediation
• Families where sexual abuse, physical abuse, domestic violence, alcohol abuse and drug abuse threaten the integrity of the family unit
• Prisoners and in particular their families, during and after the period of imprisonment
