B&Q Foundation
Details
Funding is available for registered charities who are creating or improving home environments. They focus on charities that support people who are most in need because of homelessness, financial hardship, sickness, disability or other disadvantage.
In 2026 their focus is on projects that directly improve home environments, rather than community centres, support hubs, or well-being spaces. They currently offer two main funding programmes:
- the Home Improvement Fund and,
- the Home-Starter Kits Fund.
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.
