Stay Well this Winter Grants 2023

Almost £80,000 has been invested in 29 Leeds Community Organisations thanks to Stay Well this Winter Grants. The programme is funded by Leeds City Council Public Health and enables Community Organisations to support people most at risk of becoming unwell over winter. 

With approximately 3.8 million people in the UK experiencing destitution, there is a growing number of people struggling to afford to meet their most basic physical needs to stay warm, dry, clean and fed. By investing in Community Organisations to support people over the winter months, this funding will ease the situation for some in our communities. 

The organisations that were awarded funding are: 

The activities that have been funded include providing warm clothing and winter essentials, hot food and cooking equipment, sharing information on how to be winter-ready and social clubs to prevent isolation. 

The Stay Well this Winter Grants programme is now in its 13th year. To date, more than 25,500 local people have been supported by the grants. You can read more about the impact of this programme over last winter here.
