Funding is available for registered charities who are creating or improving spaces so that more people have a place to feel at home. They focus on charities that support people who are most in need because of homelessness, financial hardship, sickness, disability or other disadvantage. The next deadline is 14th July.
In the April 2025 funding round the B&Q Foundation will solely be looking to provide funding to charities supporting people experiencing homelessness. The grants are to provide, maintain, repair or improve housing or community space for these charities. Please note this focus may be adjusted for future rounds.
Previous projects supported have included improvements such as decorating, fixing roofs, refurbishment of garden space, upgrading key fixtures and fittings, and creating new buildings or rooms.
They award grants of up to £10,000 for building or indoor projects, and up to £5,000 for garden projects. The funds will be restricted and only used on a project to provide, maintain, repair or improve housing or community space.
They will prioritise grants where they are funding over 25% of the project.
