Longleigh Foundation

Who we are

Longleigh is a grant-making foundation dedicated to supporting individuals and communities served by the social housing sector.

Established by leading housing provider, Stonewater, Longleigh Foundation was set up to support the residents, in both independent and supported housing and communities who had severe financial pressures that were then having a significant negative impact on many areas of their lives.

In addition to grants to individuals experiencing hardship, we have distributed more than £3.5m in grants to organisations to deliver projects and research. These grants have enabled thousands of people to access ongoing support to help with areas of life including financial, emotional and physical health and wellbeing. We have funded innovative projects such as a self-build housing project for armed forces veterans and for research that looked at how assistive technology can support independent living for people with long-term conditions, such as dementia.

We are a small but mighty, and values-driven organisation, and are fully committed to being compassionate, collaborative, agile, insightful and ethical, in all our actions, work and interactions.
