B&Q Foundation

A wide range of UK registered charities based and working in the UK can apply for one-off grants of up to £5,000 from the B&Q Foundation for garden projects or up to £10,000 for building or indoor projects.

The funding is for registered charities working with people most in need because of homelessness, financial hardship, sickness, disability or other disadvantage.

Charities can use the grants to decorate, renovate or create spaces (indoors and outdoors) with the aim of making people feel at home and having a sense of belonging. Projects could include creating community gardens, redecorating properties, installing new boilers, and creating new buildings or rooms.

The next deadlines are: 17 May 2024, 9 August 2024 and 15 November 2024.
