hamptonfund.co.ukAbout Hampton Fuel Allotment
A local charity rooted in the London Borough of Richmond upon Thames, Hampton Fuel Allotment serves the communities of Hampton, Hampton Wick, Hampton Hill, Teddington, Twickenham, Whitton, Heathfield, and the Mill Farm and Edgar Road estates. Its mission is to alleviate poverty and hardship among local residents, offering practical support to those on low incomes. The charity runs two distinct grant programmes: one helping individuals and families cover essential living costs, and another supporting local charitable organisations. With deep local roots and a focus on direct, practical relief, the funder aims to respond to pressing needs in the communities it knows well.
What Hampton Fuel Allotment funds
Individual grants cover energy costs for electricity and gas, essential household items such as fridges, cookers, beds and washing machines, and school-related expenses including journeys and uniforms. Community grants support registered charities, CIOs and constituted community groups working to improve local lives, with a priority for projects addressing poverty, disability, isolation among older people, youth needs and homelessness. All funded activity must take place within the defined local area, which includes the Mill Farm and Edgar Road estates.
Who can apply
Local residents on low incomes can apply for individual help, provided they live in Hampton, Hampton Wick, Hampton Hill, Teddington, Twickenham, Whitton, Heathfield, or the Mill Farm and Edgar Road estates. For community grants, the funder usually works only with registered charities and Charitable Incorporated Organisations, but trustees may occasionally support constituted community organisations in exceptional circumstances. The priority groups are individuals and families facing poverty, disabled people, older residents, young people and people experiencing homelessness.
What Hampton Fuel Allotment doesn't fund
The funder does not support services that are the clear responsibility of a statutory body, retrospective costs, national general charitable appeals, endowment appeals, or projects of a political nature. Grants to individuals for private and post-compulsory education are also excluded. For individual grants, savings held by the applicant or household may affect the amount awarded.
How they like to fund
Grants are available to both individuals and local community organisations. For school journeys, parents are expected to contribute half the cost, as a form of match funding. The funder accepts unsolicited applications and encourages applicants to reach out to its Community Grants Manager for support.
