Grants give organisations freedom to respond to changing priorities, conditions and beneficiary needs. They reduce the risk of tying organisations down into services that aren't working, and can allow organisations to redeploy resources where they are most needed.

Heather from Family Action explains why grants allow for charities to be more innovative and more flexible in how they meet needs in the community.
