Looking for a UK Fiscal Sponsor?
Breaking Down Funding Barriers for UK Groups
Struggling to fund your UK project? Whether it’s supporting families in your area with essentials or launching a community initiative, unincorporated groups often face a hurdle: funders want a registered charity or bank account you don’t have. That’s where a fiscal sponsor, or fiscal host, as it’s more commonly known in UK, steps in. At The Social Change Nest, we’ve been a fiscal sponsor for UK changemakers since 2020, moving over £23 million to 600+ groups. Forget “fiscal sponsor” jargon—we’re your partner in making change happen without the admin nightmare. Here’s how UK fiscal sponsorship can work for you.

Real UK Examples: Fiscal Sponsorship in Action
Fiscal sponsorship isn’t just for local initiatives, we’re also the fiscal host for bigger national movements like Uplift. In case you’ve not already heard about them in the news, they’re the influential campaign movement led by Tessa Khan, who are pushing for a rapid and fair transition away from oil and gas production in the UK.
