The Foundation Grants

The Greggs Foundation donates around £1.3million per year to disadvantaged people in the heart of Gregg’s local communities. The Greggs Foundation has four principal grant programmes through which it channels its community investments, major grants, regional grants, breakfast club and hardship fund.

Major Grants
The major grants programme makes grants of up to £45,000 to support charitable organisations in the North east of England. The programme prioritises core salary costs, supporting key positions in each charity and helping towards the sustainability of each project. Around £450,000 per year is invested through the major grants programme.

Regional Grants
The regional grants programme makes grants of up to £2,000 to support charitable organisations in England, Scotland and Wales. Regional grants are administered by charity committees based in our bakeries around the country. The programme prioritises project costs including activities and equipment.

Breakfast Clubs
The breakfast club programme provides grants, food and equipment to primary schools to run breakfast clubs. There are currently over 150 breakfast clubs helping around 7,000 primary school pupils to get a healthy start to each school day.

Hardship Fund
The hardship fund supports the most disadvantaged people in the North East of England through the provision of small grants for household goods.
