Applications for our Electrical Safety Fund are now open, with £1 million available to support projects which protect people from electrical harm.
Eligible organisations can apply for grants of up to £10,000 to deliver projects that:

Improve electrical safety education
Remove, repair or replace unsafe electrical products
Address electrical installation safety issues
Raise awareness of electrical safety risks and how people can stay safe

The Fund is designed to support organisations working with people who may be at greater risk of electrical harm, including those affected by the cost of living, rising energy costs, poor housing, age, disability, or other factors that increase vulnerability.

Who can apply?

Applications are open to:

Charities
Public bodies, such as Fire and Rescue Services or Trading Standards
Other registered not-for-profit organisations

Projects should primarily benefit individuals and communities particularly vulnerable to electrical risk and injury.
