The Alcohol Education and Research Council has a small grants fund for projects up to a maximum of £5,000. Small grants could be used to fund projects that increase the capacity of individuals and organisations to deal with alcohol issues, as well as small research projects, pilot research studies or demonstration projects with a strong evaluation component.
The criteria used to judge all applications for small grants, including those that are designed to develop people, are:

•  Will the project make a difference to the alcohol evidence base or to the capacity of individuals or organisations?

•  Are the aims well defined and achievable?

•  Is there a sound evaluation component to check whether aims have been achieved?

Small grants are processed throughout the year with no deadline.
Further details and the application form are available on the Council's website here.
