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.
Capital funding for VCSE organisations that are building social connections across and between different communities.
The funding is for organisations that are running activities for people aged 65 to enjoy festive cheer.
Grants are available for craft practitioners, community groups and voluntary organisations to deliver projects that protect endangered crafts and provide opportunities for makers and trainees to develop their skills.
