This year we will be investing over £1 Million through our Local Community Spaces fund. This funding is available to community groups throughout the UK to provide a safe space for people to meet and be together.

The application window for this grant opens Wednesday 7th May 2025, 10am and will close Wednesday 28th May 2025, 10am.*

Grants from £10,000 – £20,000**

We know accessible community spaces can be a lifeline for local people, and many of these spaces require funding to repair, renovate and develop them so that they can continue delivering vital activities and services. In addition, loneliness and isolation continue to be highlighted through our Community Insight Survey as top areas of concern for local communities throughout the UK.

To be eligible to apply for this fund, your community space must be an accessible place where members of the community can interact, seek support and access a variety of services and activities.

Through our Local Community Spaces Fund, we will continue playing our part in helping to fund safe and welcoming community spaces that bring people together, connect communities and address loneliness and isolation. We have invested £2.5million in community hubs since 2022, and for 2025, will commit a further £1.25million.

*The planned closing date for this grant is Wednesday 28th May, 10am, however, if we have a high level of applications, we may close the application window earlier. If we are oversubscribed in a particular geographical area of operation, we may choose to close individual areas before closing the total grant programme. Any changes to the application date will be communicated on the Asda Foundation website, social medial channels and grant management system to provide prior notice of the change.

**Asda Foundation funding must be contributing to at least 50% of your total project cost. We will fund up to 90% of your total project cost.
