Greggs Foundation

Community Action Fund

The Community Action Fund offers grants of £20,000 per year, for up to three years, to support action by UK organisations helping to tackle the challenges facing local communities. Grants are awarded to organisations who are based in geographical focus areas near Greggs Outlets or in areas of social deprivation, who can demonstrate a clear understanding of the issues facing their local area and delivering programmes that make a positive impact. The fund prioritises organisations supporting people to access a range of effective community services to widen networks, reduce isolation and build knowledge, confidence and opportunities. As a core funding grant, it helps charitable organisations manage fixed costs and financial requirements to keep their services running. The fund is part-funded by annual donations from Greggs and profits from Greggs Outlets, with particular focus on supporting organisations in the North East of England where Greggs was founded, as well as communities near Greggs Outlets across the UK.
