Grant programmes

The Greggs Foundation is a grant-making charity, distributing over £5 million in grants every year. Our grant programmes focus on addressing the key challenges facing our communities. 

We operate several grant programmes in addition to our flagship school programme.

Relief Grant

The Relief Grant helps individuals and families through periods of unexpected difficulty, providing help to ease financial strain and restore hope when it’s needed most. Applications are made via approved referral partners and schools within our Feeding Brighter Futures network on behalf of eligible individuals. 

The support available includes food, clothing vouchers and beds as well as essential home appliances including cookers, fridge freezers and washing machines. All appliances are brand new and delivered direct and can make a significant difference to people’s lives.

Please note we only accept Relief Grant applications from schools in our Feeding Brighter Futures network and approved referral partners.
