Electrical Safety Fund

Your project can benefit from our Electrical Safety Fund

We are committed to helping those who are most vulnerable to electrical risk and injury in their homes. These risks are increasing due to the cost-of-living crisis, rocketing inflation, rising energy prices, and increased use of electricity.

In response to this, we fund local projects that aim to keep people safe in their homes by focusing on tackling the risks associated with electrical products, increasing the public’s awareness of electrical safety, and promoting changes in behaviour.

We also encourage applications which align with our ongoing campaigns, such as Battery Breakdown and Don’t Be Electricked.

By applying to the Electrical Safety Fund, your organisation or community group can access resources to remove or repair unsafe electrical products from the home, or to educate the public on best practices around electrical safetyand reduce the number of electrical hazards.

Our funding supports a wide range of activities, from electrical safety workshops and educational initiatives to PAT (portable appliance testing) events and repair cafes. This work all helps prevent accidents, protects lives, and creates safer living environments for individuals and communities.

Applications are invited for grants of up to £5,000 per organisation.
