The money is offered by The Screwfix Foundation, established in 2013, and applications are reviewed every quarter (February, May, August and November).

Examples of eligible projects, including some previously awarded funding:

• Improving community facilities in deprived areas.
• Decorating the homes of people living with illness or disability.
• Converting an unusuable swimming pool into a multi-purpose function room.
• Making a community space or sports facility more accessible for people.
