Details

ASDA Foundation knows that accessible community spaces can be a lifeline for local people, and many of these spaces require funding to repair, renovate and develop them so that they can continue delivering vital activities and services.

To be eligible to apply for this fund, your community space must be an accessible place where members of the community can interact, seek support and access a variety of services and activities.

Funds projects which meet at least one of the following objectives:

• Carry out essential repairs to enable the space to continue to function.
• Renovate an existing space to accommodate more users/activities.
• Create a new community space where groups can meet and undertake activities.
• Improve accessibility to, or within, a community building.

The following list provides examples of the items and services that they would fund:

• Kitchen and bathroom refurbishments
• Roof and floors repairs
• Disabled access ramps to a community building
• Boilers and heating
• Transformation of a disused space into a functional space
• Creation of a new permanent space
• Building extensions
• Upgrades and replacements to windows and doors
• Essential building security upgrades
• Removable items (e.g. soft furnishings, tables and chairs, white goods and electrical items, garden machinery) provided they only make up a small portion of a wider application to repair, renovate, or develop a community space.

They expect to fund around 70 projects. Please plan for your project to start no earlier than September 2025, as they cannot offer retrospective payments. Funding must be used, and your project completed, by December 2026.
