The Greggs Foundation has announced that its Community Action Fund will open on the 26th January 2026, to support projects that help to build stronger, healthier communities across England.
Grants of up to £20,000 per year, for a maximum of three years, will be available to eligible organisations.
The programme focuses on initiatives which:
- Address direct needs in the local community
- Provide food and support for individuals
- Reduce social isolation and widening networks
- Build knowledge, confidence and opportunities
To be eligible, organisations must be not-for-profit, have an annual income between £25,000 and £1 million, possess at least one set of annual accounts, and have free reserves of less than six months’ running costs. Additionally, they should have a board of at least three unrelated trustees or directors and a safeguarding policy in place.
The fund supports organisations based in one of the Foundation’s geographical focus areas, typically located near Greggs Outlets and in areas of social deprivation. Eligible locations will be published on the Foundation’s website so it will be worth checking at the opening date to see if your location is eligible. Eligible locations change from round to round so it’s worth checking this site each time they open a new round.
