Funding to Improve Homes & Community Spaces (UK)

UK registered charities can apply for grants of up to £5,000 for projects that aim to improve community spaces for those most in need. The funding is made available by the B&Q Foundation to decorate, renovate, or create spaces, both indoors and outdoors, where people can feel at home and have a sense of belonging. This includes individuals experiencing homelessness, financial hardship, poor health, disability, or other disadvantage or distress.

Projects that may be eligible for funding include creating community gardens, redecorating properties, installing new boilers, and creating new buildings or rooms. Larger funding amounts may also be awarded depending on the strength of the application and the project.

The application process is open, and interested charities should submit an expression of interest in the first instance. This is intended to be a quick measure of whether the applicant organisation is eligible for a grant. Organisations that are eligible will receive an email from Neighbourly inviting them to submit a full application via the Neighbourly platform.
