The Screwfix Foundation was established in 2013 to support local projects that improve, repair and maintain homes and community facilities used by those in need.
The focus of the fund is supporting people in need whether by reason of financial hardship, sickness, disability or other disadvantage or distress. Grants are up to £5,000 for projects which improve a physical building (or land attached to it) that is used by people in need.
The funding is to be used for the following types of projects:
- Improved energy efficient lighting and heating.
- Installation of new kitchen, bathroom etc.
- Installation of a sensory room.
- General painting and decorating.
- Improving safety and security of a building.
A variety of organisations can apply including registered charities and Community Interest Companies (CICs).
Applications are considered quarterly with the next deadline being 10th May 2026.
