The Didcot Powerhouse Fund

The Didcot Powerhouse Fund, launched at the end of 2021, invites grant applications from charities and organisations providing support to the wider Didcot community. Grants are offered annually and are themed. The Fund aims to accelerate levelling up in the Didcot area by streamlining corporate and community giving more effectively to support neighbourhoods where additional support is urgently needed. The theme for 2026 is 'Powering a healthy Didcot', which aims to improve physical health, mental health and community resilience in Greater Didcot and the surrounding villages. At least 90% of beneficiaries of any grant from the Fund must live inside the Didcot Garden Town Area of Influence. Over the last four years, £383,000 has been awarded in 70 grants all serving beneficiaries in the Powerhouse area.
