Northern Powergrid Fund

Northern Powergrid Fund supports grassroots projects that strengthen vulnerable communities with grants of up to £5,000. This includes environmental activities and out-of-school educational activities taking place in ex-industrial and rural areas of Tyne & Wear or Northumberland.

Please note, the fund does not contribute to larger projects.

Examples of suitable projects include: informal skills development projects; community environmental projects; out-of-school educational activities and/or learning linked to the environment; energy efficiency improvements.

A project must be at a stage where it can start within 3 months and be completed within 12 months of the grant award. The funding must be used for a specific project and not a donation to a larger project cost.

Deadline for applications: 22 September 2025

Grant decisions are expected to be announced by late October 2025.
