Under 18 Better Start Grants

Grants of between £400 and £2,000 for local community organisations across the UK to support activities for children and young people aged 18 and under that will improve their lives and their community.  This grant is for groups who support solely under 18s in your community (for example, school
holiday clubs and youth groups).

The fund may close early if they become over-subscribed.  Early application is therefore advised.

The programme is being managed by the Community Champion in each ASDA store (scroll down to the heading "Who are the Community Champions?").  The Community Champion should be contacted for an application form.  A store locator is available on the ASDA website.

Further information and guidance on this and other currently available grant programmes is available on the Foundation’s website.

Applications should be submitted at least 6 weeks before activities are due to begin to give enough processing time and should include:

  • Bank statement/paying in slip.
  • Confirmation that the group is a not-for-profit organisation, particularly if they’re not a registered charity.
  • Digital signature declaration (for applicants not proving a handwritten signature), and
  • Group documents (for example, constitution, rules, etc).
