The SUEZ Communities Fund is offering grants of up to £50,000 to not-for-profit organisations across England for capital improvement projects that enhance community facilities, historic sites, and recreational spaces.

What Can Be Funded?

The fund supports projects that improve public amenities for community use, such as:

  • Village hall improvements
  • Community centres
  • Public playgrounds
  • Sports fields and facilities
  • Nature reserves and conservation sites
  • Village greens and country parks
  • Cycle paths
  • Historic buildings, structures, or sites

Improvements to religious buildings will only be considered if they are Grade I listed.

Projects for other historic buildings or sites must be Grade I, II, II* or hold significant heritage status (e.g., Scheduled Ancient Monument).
