Andrew Grey Community Fund £3,000 pledged to help our local communities

The Community Fund is now closed for applications – thank you for your interest, and stay tuned for further updates!

As a way of giving back to our local area, the Andrew Grey Community Fund aims to provide funding support for community-based projects which improve the quality of life of people living within two miles of Andrew Grey Funeral Directors’s branches in Hetton-Le-Hole, Houghton Le Spring, Easington Lane and South Hetton.

Local charities will be awarded funding toward the cost of a specific, community-focused project. We aim to fund projects that run for 3 months or longer, but we may consider shorter projects if ongoing community benefits can be demonstrated.

If you work with a charity in need of funding for community projects in Great Lumley, New Herrington, East Rainton, Murton, Haswell or surrounding areas, we encourage you to apply. We particularly welcome applications from small, local not-for-profit organisations embedded in their communities.
