Successful projects will need to meet one of the following themes:
- Helping individuals to access energy tariff advice or support accessing schemes, including, but not limited to, winter fuel discounts and Social Fund schemes
- Providing energy efficiency or heating solutions to people living in fuel poverty
- Operating a ‘Warm Bank’ in a community building
- Improving energy efficiency in a community building used as a warm space
- Providing warm packs to vulnerable households e.g. radiator bleed keys, heavy curtains, blankets, radiator foil etc.
- Innovative approach to combating fuel poverty
Applications which achieve a long-term impact by helping beneficiaries save money on their household energy bills on an ongoing, sustainable basis are especially encouraged.
As the cost of living and fuel prices continue to rise, many families are struggling to pay their bills this Winter. That’s why National Grid’s electricity distribution business is once again providing grants to charitable organisations that are dedicated to combating fuel poverty in their communities.
This Winter, the fund has an incredible £5m available for distribution. Registered charities, non-profit companies limited by guarantee, or statutory bodies are eligible to apply for up to £10,000, while constituted charitable organizations without a charity number can apply for up to £2000.
But hurry, the deadline is Friday 10th November!
