East Suffolk Council
Warm Welcomes grant scheme
Grants of up to £3,000 are available through the Warm Welcome grant scheme. This scheme aims to fund ‘Warm Welcomes’, which are to provide somewhere safe, warm and welcoming where people who may be struggling with the cost of heating their own homes can come to keep warm, socialise and connect with others and access additional information, advice and support from local partners. The Warm Welcomes seek to be warm not just in the temperature of the room, but also the spirit behind it. We are seeking to enable and facilitate groups and organisations to offer Warm Welcomes that offer something additional to communities this winter that will support around the cost of living and inequalities, reduce social isolation and provide a warm community welcome to address community concerns around wellbeing in light of the rising cost of living.
If you would like to access funding through the Warm Welcome grant, please read the guidance carefully and then complete the application form. Once completed and signed (an electronic signature is fine) please email your completed application to grants@eastsuffolk.gov.uk.
The deadline for this round of funding is midnight on 22 September 2023.
