Who can apply?

You can qualify for funding if you are:

The Gas Safety Trust makes grants to a wide range of charities, voluntary groups, associations, gas related businesses, social housing associations, local authorities, statutory organisations, academia bodies and a wide variety of others that meet at least one of our chosen areas of focus: 

• Reducing through information the number of people who die, or are seriously injured, from carbon monoxide and gas related poisoning from fossil or solid wood burning products.
• Low - income and vulnerable people and families, including the elderly, at risk of carbon monoxide poisoning in private and social landlords and student accommodation.
• Training and the advancement of professional standards of new installers and operatives of gas and other fossil fuels.
• Support research that will reduce the risk of death or injury from gas and other fossil fuels.

We do not fund:

• Grants will not be awarded for day-to-day administrative and/or general operational running costs.
• Grants are not awarded to pay for any form of sponsorship nor can The Gas Safety Trust name be used for any sponsorship.
• Grants are not awarded to individuals, except in the context of their business activities.
• Grants are not awarded to individuals for study or educational funding.
• Grants will not be awarded for fundraising events.
• Grants will not be awarded to sponsor an award, unless those undertaken by The Gas Safety Trust or any other related body.
• Grants are not made to fund professional conferences or for professional fees.
• Grants are not awarded to projects where The Gas Safety Trust grant support input will not make a positive impact and can be clearly defined. We want every £1 donated to make a difference to those most in need.
