The Luton Matters Programme

The Luton Matters programme aims to provide financial support to organisations working on the ground in Luton to improve services in the town and provide positive outcomes and quality of life benefits for its residents. There are no further restrictions on the type of work or beneficiaries for this programme (i.e. it is not just for under-26s).

Full guidance on this programme can be found on our website.

In 2026, Expressions of Interest can be submitted between Thursday 1 October at 2.30pm and Friday 23 October at 23:59. If selected to progress to the second stage, the earliest potential award for these applications is March 2027. Please check our website from time to time for the full process and for updates.

The United Kingdom Under-26 Programme

The UK U-26 programme operates by invitation only. Please do not contact the Trust for an introduction as these cannot be arranged.

Application questions can be found here.
