£400,000 Foodbank Fund to Support Disadvantaged Communities (UK)
In response to the cost-of-living crisis, the Asda Foundation has launched the Foodbank Fundamentals Fund, allocating a total of £400,000 in funding to support not-for-profit organisations that provide food and essential supplies to the UK’s most disadvantaged communities.
The fund will consider applications from not-for-profit organisations with an annual income below £250,000, such as:
- food banks
- community pantries
- social supermarkets
- soup kitchens
- breakfast clubs
Grants of £750 can only be used for the following (or a combination of):
- essential food (inc. baby food/formula)
- basic hygiene items (inc. toiletries, nappies and baby wipes)
- white goods (e.g. fridge, freezer)
- storage and essential fixtures/fittings (i.e. containers, shelving)
- fuel costs for delivering food provisions to isolated members of the community
Applications will be open from the 15th to 29th July 2025, but may close early if demand is high.
