Community Organisations Cost of Living Fund
The Community Organisations Cost of Living Fund provides grants to front-line organisations that offer critical services for people and communities under severe pressure because of the increased cost of living. By community we mean people living in the same local area. Our main priority is to fund work supporting low-income households and individuals. To apply your organisation must work closely with local communities and already run critical services around at least one of the following: food and emergency supplies; emergency shelter; safe spaces; warmth; financial and housing advice. Your organisation must also be facing both increased demand for these critical services and increased costs of delivering them.
