Three Guineas is a grantmaking trust that funds work to support the autonomy, safety and civil rights of autistic, neurodivergent, Disabled, trans and non-binary people.
We’re recruiting!
We’re recruiting grants panel members for our access to justice for Disabled people programme.
The panel is made up of Disabled and neurodivergent people and people with experience of advice and advocacy services.
This is a paid role on a self-employed basis. The rate is £150/day plus expenses, access costs, and childcare. Panel members will be paid a fee equal to six and a half days’ work for a year. This time includes an induction meeting and an orientation day to meet other panel members. Appointment is for three years at a time.
Holiday activity schemes for autistic children and young people
The 2026 round will open for expressions of interest on 2 February 2026.
This scheme provides grants of up to £15,000 for autistic-specific holiday schemes for autistic children and young people, and their siblings, which run in the school holidays. Grants are usually for part of the costs.
Access to justice for Disabled people
The next grant round will be open for applications in spring 2027.
The grants panel will meet in September 2027 to recommend grants. We do not have a waiting list for interested applicants. Guidance and criteria will be updated on the website nearer the time.
This programme aims to increase access for Disabled or neurodivergent people to advice and advocacy on benefits and debt, housing and homelessness, community care, personal liberty and equal access to goods and services.
Applications will be shortlisted, assessed and recommended for a grant by a panel of people who are Disabled or neurodivergent, or who have lived experience of disability and learned experience of legal advice.

Trans people’s civil rights and personal safety
We believe that the Supreme Court ruling on interpretation of the Equality Act 2010 adversely impacts trans and non-binary people profoundly, immediately and directly.
It also engenders an environment that permits people and institutions to police other people’s self-presentation.
- We are open to suggestions on how best to support trans people’s civil rights and personal safety.
- If you want to discuss this with us please get in touch.
