Winter grants of up to £5,000 available for Northamptonshire community groups
Community groups supporting people in Northamptonshire through the colder months can apply for grants of up to £5,000.
National Grid Electricity Distribution (NGED) has made £500,000 available through its Community Matters Fund this autumn.
Funding can support warm spaces and energy-efficiency improvements to community buildings including village halls.
Grants are also available for groups distributing blankets, insulated curtains and draught excluders, visiting isolated households or providing energy-saving, tariff and fuel poverty advice.
Registered charities and non-profit organisations can apply for up to £5,000, while constituted charitable organisations without a charity number can seek up to £2,000.
Andlyn White, NGED’s social impact business partner, said the funding aimed to ensure “practical support reaches those who need it most”.
Applications are open until 5pm on Friday, October 16.
