National Grid Electricity Distribution Community Fund

Are you a charity or community group working to tackle fuel poverty?

If so, this 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.
