Community Matters Fund
Our Community Matters Fund is now closed.
Are you a charity or community group working to tackle fuel poverty?
If so, our Community Matters Fund is offering grants to support:
- Distributing warm packs or energy efficiency measures (e.g. warm blankets, radiator keys, insulated curtains, draught excluders) for home usage
- Visiting isolated households to help people make their homes warmer and more energy efficient
- Running a warm space in a community building
- Improving the energy efficiency of a community building used as a warm space
- Providing tariff switching, energy saving, winter fuel discount, or other fuel poverty advice
Registered charities or non-profit companies limited by guarantee can apply for up to £5,000, while constituted charitable organisations without a charity number can apply for up to £2,000.
Applications are open until 5pm on Friday 1 November 2024.
Applications are particularly welcome from grassroots organisations serving economically disadvantaged areas and targeting historically underrepresented and marginalised groups.
Since its launch in 2021, our Community Matters Fund has awarded £10.5 million to local groups across the Midlands, South West and South Wales.
