We’re celebrating 5 amazing years of Severn Trent Community Fund!

Severn Trent Community Fund Flyer

And what a journey it’s been! We’re so excited to share our 5th Severn Trent Community Fund annual review, packed with highlights from another incredible year of supporting our local communities. Last year, we awarded £2.02 million to 113 fantastic projects and charities in the Severn Trent region, benefiting almost 600,000 Severn Trent customers between them.

This review is a celebration of the people, the passion, and the positive impact that has been achieved.

Looking ahead

The great news is we’re here to stay! For the next five years, we’ll focus equally on core and new project funding to meet our customers’ needs. As always, we’ll be focusing on reaching the communities most in need of our support, so any help you can give in getting the word out is hugely appreciated.

We have our review and Facebook video, celebrating the awardees, that you can use to easily share the opportunity with your networks. Together, we can keep making a real difference where it matters most. Thank you for being part of this journey—here’s to many more years of making a difference!

Safer and Stronger Communities Fund 

Police and Crime Commissioner Nicolle Ndiweni-Roberts has launched a new fund to support her plans to build a safer, stronger and more inclusive Derbyshire.

The Commissioner is inviting non-profit organisations, charities and voluntary partners in Derbyshire – the people who know their communities best – to apply for grants to help deliver against the priorities of her Police and Crime Plan.

The Safer and Stronger Communities Fund will provide grants of up to £5k for effective, community-focused organisations that are passionate about helping the county and its people to flourish.

Supporting Christian Charities concerned with social inclusion, particularly through ministries of healing and the arts.

The Radcliffe Trust is one of Britain’s oldest charities, founded in 1714 by the will of Dr John Radcliffe.

Today, The Radcliffe Trust continues his charitable bequest through the support of Music and Heritage & Crafts.

Charles Hayward Foundation is a grant-making charitable trust that funds UK registered charities.

Grants

We fund projects in four categories: Social & Criminal Justice, Overseas, Heritage & Conservation, and Older People.

This programme is designed to support excellent local organisations and projects that work with:

• disabled children and young people;
• children and young people with life-limiting conditions;
• and their families.

It provides grants of up to £10,000, although many grants are smaller than this.

The programme is open to applications at any time. We aim to respond to your application with a final decision within twelve weeks.

We award grants towards projects that make improvements to community facilities and the natural environment.
