The trade retailers Screwfix established the Screwfix Foundation in 2013 to support local projects that improve, repair and maintain homes and community facilities used by those in need in the UK.
Local registered charities and not-for-profit organisations can apply for grants of up to £5,000 for projects which improve a physical building (or land attached to it) that is used by people in need.
The funding is to be used for the following types of projects:
Registered charities, Community Benefit Societies, Cooperative Societies and Community Interest Companies can apply as long as they have suitable governance to manage the fund and are supporting people in need whether by reason of financial hardship, sickness, disability or other disadvantage or distress.
Due to the very high number of applications received each quarter, Screwfix will give priority to where Screwfix is funding the project in full and where the project will directly benefit people in need and will have a long lasting impact.
Grants for VCSE organisations working in Knottingley and Ferrybridge to fund small projects that improve physical or mental health for residents of all ages.
Grant funding for VCSE organisations to strengthen support networks for residents in Wakefield District, helping them to connect to services and activities so they are better supported during a financial crisis.
Grants for organisations and partnerships supporting newcomers to the UK to rebuild their lives, feel at home and become active members of their local communities.
