    This item will show under the following categories: Health and Social Care  

    Funding is available for registered charities that are creating or improving home environments. They focus on charities that support people who are most in need because of homelessness, financial hardship, sickness, disability or other disadvantage.

    In 2026 their focus is on projects that directly improve home environments, rather than community centres, support hubs, or wellbeing spaces. They currently offer two main funding programmes:

    1. Home Improvement Fund
    2. Home-Starter Kits Fund

    Previous projects supported have included improvements such as decorating, fixing roofs, refurbishment of garden space, upgrading key fixtures and fittings, and creating new buildings or rooms.

    Who can apply?

    Registered charities in the UK supporting people experiencing homelessness. 

    How to apply

    Applications are made online via Neighbourly. A link to the online form can be found on the B&Q Foundation website.

    The closing date for applications is Friday 20 February 2026.
