Grants are available for charities and other not-for-profit organisations that are supporting people in fuel and food poverty in England, Scotland or Wales.
Background
Utilita Giving, a recently registered charity, is the charitable arm of Utilita, and is completely independent. It is governed by its own Board of Trustees, most of whom are also independent from Utilita (the UK’s first and only specialist Pay As You Go Smart Energy supplier).
The charity will operate primarily by the making of grants to individuals, households and/or other charities with similar objects. The charity intends also to raise the awareness of the public in the causes and consequences of fuel and food poverty which will be achieved by the publication of information on its website and other publicity materials.
The charity will prioritise funding that goes to:
- Relieve fuel poverty or food poverty.
- Educating the public in matters relating to fuel poverty or food poverty, including causes and impacts of such poverty and the things people can do to help prevent it.
The funding can be used for a number of different things that support people in fuel and food poverty.
Examples include:
- A new van or transport for foodbanks charities to collect and redistribute food.
- Additional paid staff to support a fuel poverty advice phoneline.
- Additional money to feed disadvantaged families in a warm and welcome space.
