Current community grant recipients

Over the next year until the end of March 2024, Hampshire County Council, in line with the DWP Household Support Fund grant criteria, has allocated £1.3m in community grants to enable organisations to support vulnerable residents with food and fuel poverty.

Updated details of support available in your neighbourhood through the community grants programme will be listed here as they become available – make sure to bookmark connect4communities.

The below organisations have received funding to deliver schemes up to March 2024. Contact them directly to find out more.
