Berkshire Community Foundation Flood Damage Grants

If your voluntary or community group is working directly to assist in flood relief or recovery efforts you may be eligible to apply for a Foundation Grant. Small charities or social enterprises such as community shops may also apply if their day to day activity has been affected by the flooding.

What for? 

  • If any groups have worked with people impacted by the flooding or have suffered any damage to property etc then please get in touch with Berkshire Community Foundation (see email contact below). 
  • Grants are made between £1,000 and £10,000 to groups who have been affected by the flooding.
These may include:-
  • Groups who have incurred unbudgeted costs supporting those who have been affected by the flooding during February and March 2014
  • Groups who have sustained damage to either property or assets that cannot be recovered through insurance
  • Groups closely linked to communities who are undertaking activities that support those who have been affected by flooding.
Consideration will be given for the funding of plans for future resilience. Groups are requested to seek the endorsement of their local Parish Council or Ward Member. 

Priority will be given to groups who have close local connections and where the activities are driven by those who have been affected.


How Much?
Between £1,000 and £10,000
