New £1m fund to warm up local communities!

The Co-op Warm Spaces Funding Boost offers up to £3,000 of financial support to charities and community projects across the UK. They have partnered with Co-op to launch a new fund that your charity could be eligible for.

Charities and community groups who are already offering a warm space, wanting to increase opening times or extend existing services or activities this winter can apply for the £1m match funding – up to £3,000 per project.

Set up a Crowdfunder project and apply for the funding. If accepted, every pound you raise from the crowd will be matched by Co-op. So you could turn a £20 pledge into £40!

Charities and projects that can apply might include; 

✅ A community cafe that needs funding to continue offering their building as a warm space;
✅ A support group wanting to extend existing activities to support more people in their community;
✅ A community fridge wanting to promote their services more widely to meet increasing need;
✅ A youth group whose energy costs have increased.
