Good Food, Not Food Waste
Good food should be used, not wasted. Through food redistribution and practical learning, we are helping households make more of the ingredients available to them, reduce unnecessary waste and discover affordable approaches to cooking and everyday nutrition.

Digital Access for Everyone
So much everyday life now happens online, but not everyone has the equipment, confidence or connection they need. We are helping make digital services less daunting through friendly, practical support with forms, email, printing and accessing information.

Money Matters, Wellbeing Matters
Money worries can affect far more than a bank balance. This campaign encourages early conversations about household costs, benefits, debt and financial wellbeing, and connects people with trusted information and specialist support before difficulties become harder to manage.

Poverty Is More Than an Empty Cupboard
Poverty affects much more than household income or access to food. This campaign explores how financial pressure, insecure housing, isolation and unequal opportunities can overlap, while challenging assumptions and making space for local people’s experiences and practical solutions.

Support Shouldn’t Be Out of Reach
Distance, transport costs, inaccessible information and complicated processes can prevent people from getting help. We are raising awareness of these barriers and working with partners to make essential support easier to find, understand and access close to home.

Spot the Signs — Cancer Awareness
Cancer awareness is about more than recognising symptoms. Through our Spot the Signs campaign, we’re helping local people understand cancer risks, access screening, make healthier choices and overcome barriers to getting the healthcare they need. Working alongside NHS and community health partners, we’re bringing trusted information and practical support closer to home.

Know Your Numbers — Heart Health
High blood pressure often has no obvious symptoms, which makes awareness and appropriate checks important. Our heart-health campaign helps people understand everyday cardiovascular risk factors, where to access qualified advice and how small, sustainable steps can support wellbeing.

Stronger Together — Helping Community Initiatives Thrive
Community ideas are often led by people with deep local knowledge but limited time or resources to navigate governance and funding. We are helping promising initiatives connect with appropriate support and sharing what BLOT has learned, while protecting grassroots leadership and independence.

Equal Impact, Equal Opportunity — Fairer Funding for Social Enterprises
Organisations working for public benefit can face different donation tax treatment depending on their legal structure. We want to explore fairer, carefully safeguarded incentives for genuinely not-for-profit social enterprises, through evidence gathering and constructive dialogue with appropriate sector partners.
