Community groups across the UK can now apply for funding to support safe, welcoming spaces where people can come together.
The Local Community Spaces Fund, delivered by the Asda Foundation, aims to support projects that reduce loneliness and strengthen local connections. Many community spaces are vital lifelines, but require investment to repair, renovate or develop so they can continue delivering essential services.
Since 2022, the fund has invested over £3 million into community hubs across the UK. In 2026, a further £1 million will be made available to support projects that bring people together and help tackle isolation.
Who can apply
- Charities
- Community Interest Companies (CICs)
- Community Benefit Societies
Applicants must demonstrate how their project benefits local people.
Grant value
£10,000 – £20,000
Key dates
Applications are open from 14th April to 28th April 2026.
Please note: Applications may close early if demand is high or regions become oversubscribed.
