Grant News
The Greggs Foundation has announced that its Community Action Fund will open on the 26th January 2026, to support projects that help to build stronger, healthier communities across England and Northern Ireland.
Grants of up to £20,000 per year, for a maximum of three years, will be available to eligible organisations.
The programme focuses on initiatives which:
- Address direct needs in the local community
- Provide food and support for individuals
- Reduce social isolation and widening networks
- Build knowledge, confidence and opportunities
To be eligible, organisations must be not-for-profit, have an annual income between £25,000 and £1 million, possess at least one set of annual accounts, and have free reserves of less than six months' running costs. Additionally, they should have a board of at least three unrelated trustees or directors and a safeguarding policy in place.
The fund supports organisations based in one of the Foundation’s geographical focus areas, typically located near Greggs Outlets and in areas of social deprivation. Eligible locations will be published on the Foundation’s website.
As well as supporting organisations close to Greggs Outlets, the Community Action Fund also supports organisations situated in the North East of England (Northumberland, Tyne and Wear, Durham and Teesside). This aims to rectify the historical lack of funding opportunities for organisations in the region.
