Co-op and Crowdfunder have teamed up to help community organisations navigate the cost of living crisis to provide vital services this winter with the Co-op Warm Spaces Funding Boost.
Charities and community groups who are already offering a warm space, wanting to increase opening times or extend existing services or activities this winter can apply for the £1million match funding – up to £5,000 per project.
Your project must be a community organisation that welcomes people into a community space in your local area to provide support and needs urgent help this winter to:
- Maintain vital existing services in the face of rising energy costs
- Make the community space that you operate from more welcoming
- Increase opening times and/or extend services.
To be eligible for match funding your organisation must:
- Be based and have a bank account based in England, Wales, Scotland or Northern Ireland
- Be a not-for-profit constituted organisation, including community groups, schools, registered charities and social enterprises
- Have a bank account in the name of the organisation
- Run a crowdfunding campaign this winter, delivered by 31 March 2023
- Be raising funds for revenue costs only (capital costs such as building refurbishment are not eligible).
Eligible community groups could get up to £5,000 to continue or extend vital services.
