Community Matters Fund - Fuel Poverty Plus

 



This winter, National Grid Electricity Distribution has teamed up with Localgiving

to deliver a record £2.5million of funding to charitable organisations tackling fuel

poverty in their communities.

With the increase in fuel costs and the cost of living, many families will find paying

their bills a struggle at this time of year.

National Grid Electricity Distribution (NGED) is the regional electricity distribution

division of National Grid. Formerly known as Western Power Distribution,

the UK’s largest electricity distribution network serves nearly 8 million customers

in the East and West Midlands, South West and South Wales, delivering essential

 power to millions of homes and businesses across its regions.

National Grid Electricity Distribution is calling on charities, councils and

community groups small and large across its four regions, to apply for

grants of up to £10,000 to support people who need extra help this winter.

In addition to providing grants, a bank of energy saving advice and resources

will be available for groups to adapt and use within their communities, offering

an extra layer of support.

 

The fund is open to all non-profit and statutory organisations, big and small,

based in these locations who are supporting households experiencing fuel poverty.

 

The programme is now live and accepting applications until midnight on

Monday, October 31st 2022.

All applicants will be informed of the outcome of their application by

Tuesday, 15th November 2022.

 

All projects must be completed and the funding must be spent by

31st March 2023.
