Electrical Safety First is offering charities, community interest companies (CICs), trusts, and registered not-for-profit organisations across the UK grants to deliver projects and activities that contribute to a reduction in electrical risks in UK homes.

Through the Electrical Safety Fund, grants of up to £5,000 are available for projects that fall in one of the following categories:

Product testing and replacement events.
Raising awareness activities.
Home safety activities/visits.
Educational events/workshops.

For home repair and direct intervention projects, recipients must be owner-occupants of their residential dwelling who are unable to afford the electrical work required, which must be defined as minor, and the householders must meet one of the following criteria:

Live with a child under five years old.
Live alone or with others and have reached state pension age.
Live alone or with others and are disabled or chronically ill.
Live with others who have reached state pension age or are disabled, chronically, or under 18 years old.

This year, priority will be given to projects that focus on demographics with vulnerabilities—for instance, translating and sharing safety materials among refugees or migrant groups, or developing materials for those with additional needs.

The deadline for applications is 12 October 2025. For more information, please visit Electrical Safety Fund | Electrical Safety First
