We are an evidence-led funder dedicated to basing our grantmaking on robust research.
Research is an essential tool- it helps us to understand the areas of greatest need under each of our strategic objectives, and assists in identifying effective approaches to meeting this need.
We are committed to learning through our grantmaking, and seek to do this through commissioning external evaluations of TLEF funded projects, helping grantees to develop their own internal evaluation strategies and encouraging all grant recipients to reflect on what they have learned through the design and delivery of their TLEF funded project.
This section of the website is intended to act as a resource for existing grantees, organisations who are considering applying to us for funding for a project and the wider sector interested in issues related to our strategic objectives.

Research we have funded through our open programme.
Peer-reviewed publications relevant to our strategic objectives.
Sources relevant to our strategic objectives that have not been published in academic journals or subjected to peer review.
