Grants to Tackle Holiday Hunger (South Wales, the South West and the Midlands)

Grants of up to £2,500 are available to charities, councils, community groups, and other not-for-profit organisations tackling holiday hunger across the Midlands, the South West, and South Wales.

Western Power Distribution has teamed up with Localgiving to make a total of £500,000 in funding available for projects that that offer short-term interventions to support families who struggle to feed their children over the summer holidays, and longer-term support to help reduce food poverty.

Support could include food parcels and serving meals, delivering services to assist families such as food pantries, and educational activities focused on skills development such as cookery classes, nutrition advice, budgeting support, benefits and debt advice.

The funding is made available through the Community Matters Fund which closes to application on the 14th June 2022.
