Grant News
UK based, not-for-profit and public organisations, including charities, community interest companies, schools, trusts, government bodies, can apply for grants of up to £10,000 to support projects aimed at helping those who are most vulnerable to electrical risk and injury. This could include:
-
Older people, particularly those living alone or in older housing where electrical systems may be outdated.
-
Low-income households, where faulty or second-hand electrical products are more likely to be used.
-
Families with young children, as children are less aware of electrical dangers.
-
People with disabilities or long-term health conditions, who may have reduced mobility, sensory impairments, or reliance on electrical medical devices.
-
Tenants in private rented housing, where electrical safety standards can sometimes be inconsistent.
The funding is made available through the Electrical Safety Fund, which aims to keep people safe in their homes by tackling the risks associated with electrical products, increasing the public’s awareness of electrical safety, and promoting changes in behaviour.
By applying to the Electrical Safety Fund, eligible organisations or community groups could receive support to:
- Tackle risks associated with unsafe electrical products and installations
- Raise awareness of electrical safety and encourage safer behaviours
- Deliver practical solutions, such as removing or repairing faulty products and installations
The type of activity that could be funded includes:
- Product testing, repair, and replacement events
- Educational workshops and events
- Awareness raising activities
- Home repair and direct interventions
The closing date for applications is midnight on 27 September 2026.
