Asda Foundation: Cost of Living Grants

Posted on 22 September 2022 by Christie McAlpine in Funding Grants Cost of Living #RunningCostsCrisis

Asda Foundation have launched a new Cost of Living Grants scheme which focuses on supporting groups with increased costs relating to rent and utility bill support, as well as increased costs associated with essential food provision. This grant is designed to support the increased running costs groups will face between September 2022 and February 2023.

Applications are open now for grants between £500 - £2,000. There are two categories of grants available:

  1. Increased rent and utility bill support: support with increases in bills, and to stay open longer to help people with 'warm spaces'.
  2. Increased food costs support: enables groups to support those impacted by increased food costs.

To apply, contact the Community Champion at your local Asda store. The application window will remain open until the budget cap as been reached so they advise applying as soon as possible.
