The Greggs Foundation Community Grants Programme continues to make a lasting impact by supporting local charities and community organisations across the UK. This long-term funding initiative offers grants of up to £20,000 per year for up to three years to help organisations deliver practical, locally focused solutions that make a real difference.

Who can apply

The programme is open to charities and community organisations based in Greggs’ geographical focus areas. Applicants should demonstrate:

  • A clear understanding of the key challenges facing their local area
  • The ability to deliver programmes that have a positive, measurable impact
  • A commitment to reducing isolation, building community networks, and creating opportunities for local people

Priority is given to organisations that help individuals access essential community services, develop confidence and skills, and improve wellbeing through connection and support.
