Voluntary, community and social enterprise (VCSE) organisations are invited to apply for funding from the Arnold Clark Community Fund to help people affected by the ongoing cost of living crisis.
UK-based registered charities, CICs, SCIOs and other not-for-profit organisations that provide direct support in their communities are eligible to apply. This could include projects such as food banks, mental health initiatives, provision of clothing and essentials, or activities that promote longer-term resilience.
To be eligible, organisations must operate within 50 miles of an Arnold Clark branch and demonstrate how the funding will support individuals and families facing hardship. Funding can be used to cover core costs or specific projects.
Funding is at the discretion of the Arnold Clark Community Fund, with a possible maximum grant of £2,500.
The application process is straightforward and takes place online. There are no fixed deadlines – applications are assessed on a rolling basis, but early applications are encouraged due to high demand.
