Community Matters Fund
£500,000 is available for charitable organisations in the Midlands, Southwest England and South Wales working to tackle fuel poverty and improve energy affordability in their communities.
As temperatures begin to fall, many communities continue to experience cost of living challenges, increasing demand for support from households seeking advice on energy efficiency, affordability and keeping warm over the winter months.
To address this, the latest edition of the long-running Community Matters Fund, focuses on energy affordability and the creation of a £500,000 funding pot to support grassroots organisations that serve economically disadvantaged areas and target historically under-represented and marginalised groups. We understand the need is often urgent, so the application process is straightforward and funds will be distributed quickly.
The Fund opened on Tuesday 22nd September and will close at 5pm on Friday 16th October.
Registered charities or non-profit companies limited by guarantee can apply for up to £5,000; constituted charitable organisations with no charity number can apply for up to £2,000.
