South West Water Giving Away £100k – Is Your Charity Missing Out?

Support for local causes across the South West

Applications are now open for South West Water’s Neighbourhood Fund, which offers financial support to charities and community projects across the region.

The fund, worth £100,000 each year, is accepting applications throughout April – and on the 1st of every month moving forward. It’s aimed at backing South West-based projects that help improve well-being, education, the environment, mental health and sport.

Impact so far

Launched in 2021, the Neighbourhood Fund has already helped 256 projects, with more than 41,000 people across the region benefitting in 2024 alone.

Previous recipients include a mental health charity working with isolated fathers and carers, a bereavement support service for families who have lost a child, and an educational programme for neurodivergent children.

Aimee Conroy, Founder of Luna’s Fund – which received support from South West Water last year – said:
“On behalf of the local baby loss community, we thank South West Water for facilitating support for those who found themselves in need of our unique services.”

Encouraging new applicants

Dani Twelvetree, Head of Customer Communications at South West Water, said:
“We’re so pleased to be able to continue supporting local charities again this year and help them to deliver such meaningful initiatives right across the region.

“I would encourage anyone who runs a charity or initiative to check out the fund and see how we may be able to help.”
