Morrisons Foundation provides capital grants to support the improvement and development of services and facilities through its Connecting Communities programme. The aim of the funding is to:
- breathe new life into local spaces: upgrade and revitalise buildings and outdoor areas
- bring people together: reduce social isolation and foster a strong sense of belonging
- secure the future: ensure vital local services remain open and accessible for generations to come
Registered charities can apply for a grant of up to £20,000 to help them to provide their place-based services to communities. This includes:
- open access spaces (village halls, community centres, sports facilities, community gardens)
- disability and therapeutic centres (riding for disabled people, day centres)
- youth and education (mainstream school PTAs, SEND facilities, play areas, uniformed groups)
- targeted crisis support (women’s refuges, homeless shelters, rehabilitation centres)
- health and wellbeing (hospital charities, bereavement support)
- isolation and cohesion (warm hubs, men’s sheds, elderly services)
The funding is for capital improvements that improve, enhance or protect spaces where these services are offered. This can include renovations and upgrades, small-scale construction, equipment and installations, and transforming outdoor areas.
Only registered charities can apply.
The Morrisons Foundation does not make contributions towards projects that cost more than £20,000 in total to deliver.
