About this Funding:
Grants of up to £10,000 will soon be available to UK registered charities for projects that improve homes and accommodation, or provide home-starter kits, for people in need.
The funding is provided by the B&Q Foundation to help individuals and families facing homelessness, domestic abuse, disability, illness, or financial hardship feel safer, more settled, and better supported in their homes.
The Home Improvement Fund can support a range of improvement works, including essential repairs, decorating, the installation of fixtures, safety features, and other indoor and outdoor improvements.
The Home-Starter Kits Fund provides grants of up to £10,000, with a maximum of £500 per kit, to help charities purchase and distribute essential household items to individuals setting up a home. This includes white goods, small electrical goods, curtains, lighting, soft furnishings, basic repair materials, and gift cards to cover immediate needs.
Only charity-managed properties qualify for home and accommodation improvements.
Applications open on 20 July 2026 and close on 14 August 2026.
