Arnold Clark, the UK’s largest independently owned, family-run car retailer, has been offering grants to communities in the areas in which it operates since2021.
Registered charities and community groups across England, Scotland and Wales can apply now for a grant to support cost of living projects. To be eligible, they must be based/operate solely in the UK and located within 50 miles of an Arnold Clark branch.
Their work must directly support those most affected by the cost-of-living crisis, such as foodbanks, accommodation, poverty relief and where people/communities in the UK are the primary and immediate focus of investment.
Applications are encouraged from smaller voluntary and community organisations who are working with those most affected and vulnerable to the increased cost of living.
Funding is at the discretion of Arnold Clark Community Fund with a possible maximum grant of £2,500. Arnold Clark will contact successful applicants on a weekly basis.
There are no deadlines for applications. However, it is recommended that groups apply as early as they can as applications could be paused due to high demand.
Grants are available for charities, community groups, and other not-for-profit organisations to deliver projects with a positive impact for communities along the East Coast mainline route.
Grants are available for not-for-profit organisations to deliver projects and activities that support LGBT+ young people’s needs as they grow into adulthood.
The Creating Connections Grant Programme will be awarding 20+ grants of up to £7,500 to charities and community groups who are helping to reduce loneliness and isolation for the over 65s.
