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.
Grants of up to £750 are available from McCarthy Stone Foundation for small charities and community groups bringing together people over 65 at Christmas.
The Community Energy Fund (CEF) is a £10m grant scheme for urban and rural communities to develop energy services to benefit their local area.
Inspire Fund provides funding for projects that engage the public with the topic of dementia and the life-changing research going on into the condition.
