The B&Q Foundation Grants programme is provided by B&Q Foundation and managed by Neighbourly, a platform used by local Good Causes across the UK and Ireland.
A wide range of UK registered charities based and working in the UK can apply for one-off grants of up to £5,000 for garden projects or up to £10,000 for building or indoor projects.
The funding is for registered charities working with people most in need because of homelessness, financial hardship, sickness, disability or other disadvantage.
Charities can use the grants to decorate, renovate or create spaces (indoors and outdoors) with the aim of making people feel at home and having a sense of belonging. Projects could include creating community gardens, redecorating properties, installing new boilers, and creating new buildings or rooms.
The funding will cover the full cost for the completion of the project, including staff time required.
Projects need to be delivered within six months of receiving the grant.
Through its IT4Good Grants Programme, WCIT is providing grants up to £15,000 for educational establishments and not-for-profit organisations to support IT projects and activities.
Grants of up to £1,500 are available for charities and community groups for wellbeing activities and projects benefiting people aged 55 and over that aim to reduce social isolation and loneliness.
The National Grid Electricity Distribution has launched a £500,000 fund to support charities and community groups in helping vulnerable households reduce energy costs and stay warm this winter.
