We all have the power to make gas safer if we take action.
If you have an innovative initiative that you believe can make a
real difference to gas safety on a national or local level, you may
be eligible for a Gas Safe Charity Action Grant.
We accept applications for funding from:
- Registered charities
- Not for profit groups
- Community and constituted voluntary organisations
We are not able to accept applications from profit-making
organisations, groups not formally constituted or individuals.
Gas Safe Charity Action Grants and the maximum level of funds
available fall under three categories:
- Community or group education and awareness
This grant could go to, for example, an education
programme to raise awareness of e.g. carbon monoxide at schools. It
could be a programme to raise awareness of gas safety risks among
older people.
- Research
Research grants will only go to programmes that seek to understand
the issues surrounding gas safety to inform improvement
programmes.
- Improvement programme
This grant will go to organisations to support new or existing
activities operating on a national level to raise awareness of gas
safety, or to put practical solutions in place that make homes
safer.
How to apply
To apply for a Gas Safe Charity Action Grant, fill in the application form and send it with your annual
report and accounts, or other supporting material. Include a
covering letter confirming the grant you are applying for, and an
overview of your organisation and the project.
To allow enough time for decisions on grants to be made,
applications for community and group initiatives should be sent at
least two months before the project is due to start, and further in
advance for research and improvement programmes.

Reviewing applications
The charity's trustees will assess all grant applications. If a
trustee is associated with an organisation applying for a grant,
they will not participate in the application assessment process.
Applicants may be asked to submit further information about the
project they have requested funding for, and may be invited to meet
with the charity.
Application outcomes
We will notify all applicants in writing about the outcome of
their Gas Safe Charity Action Grant application. If you are awarded
a grant, we will confirm how much and the expectations that we
require in terms of evaluating the project.
If an application is unsuccessful, it may not have met essential
criteria. There must be clear and persuasive reasons for carrying
out a particular piece of work. The application must show solid
evidence that the project will have measurable outcomes that
benefit the public and offer value for money.
