Local community groups can apply for grants of between £500 and £1500 to support a broad range of activities that contribute to improving children’s lives and contribute towards transforming local communities. The funding is being made available through round 2 of the Asda Foundation’s Under 18 Better Starts Grant. As a result of the cost of living crisis, the focus for round 2 funding is on ensuring children are supported during the summer. It could be providing essential food over the school holidays or a new uniform and sports kit ahead of the new school year, etc.
Applications should be made through each local Asda store’s Community Champion.
Applications can be submitted at any time up to the 19th August 2022.

Children In Need have introduced their We Move Fund which aims to empower Black children and young people through Youth Social Action. They define youth social action as when children and young people use their voices to tackle subjects that matter to them. Children in Need will commit £10m over 10 years to create and invest in opportunities for Black children and young people.
They state: Youth Social Action is also part of our £4m Sharing Power (Youth Social Action) Programme. It is one of two Youth Social Action funds, being delivered in partnership with the #iwill Fund (a £54million joint investment between The National Lottery Community Fund and the Department for Digital, Culture, Media and Sport), which are open this year. If your organisation or project is not focussed on Black children and young people, you can read about our other fund here
BBC Children in Need wants to place children and young people at the heart of what we do. We want to create opportunities to support and nurture children and young people’s voices, ideas, and leadership in the UK. We also know that children and young people experienced a reduction in their chances to participate during the pandemic.

The 2022 Smart Energy GB in Communities programme is now live, with grant funding and support being targeted to organisations in England, Wales and Scotland reaching people who are over 65, people on a low income or people who are carers.
The main proportion of the funding aims to ensure people in the target groups understand how smart meters can benefit them and increase the likelihood that they will seek or accept a smart meter installation.
They are looking for applicants that have a trusted voice in their community. As this year’s target groups are significant in size (over 12 million people are over 65; approximately 8 million people are on a low income and around 1 in 4 people are carers), they are seeking projects that can engage these groups at scale through a combination of direct (Covid-19 permitting) and indirect activities. Previous organisations who have applied to the grants programme, both successful and unsuccessful, are eligible to apply and encouraged to do so. Housing associations and local authorities are eligible to apply too.
Full details on the application process are included in their Guidance Document on the NEA website. Please read this before completing an online application form and Project Plan. If you have any queries, contact smartgrants@nea.org.uk
The closing date for applications is 12 noon, Friday 11 February 2022.
We aim to appoint successful projects in late March, with delivery running until 7 December 2022
