Tees Million Warm This Winter Fund

Grants of up to £2,500 from Tees Million, the Tees Foundation's grant service, for Teesside charities, voluntary organisations and community groups giving practical help to vulnerable people struggling with energy costs and the cost of living this winter. Past grants have paid for warm community spaces, hot meals and slow cookers. Groups need not be registered charities but must have a constitution, three board members and suitable safeguarding.
