Overview
The Severn Trent Community Fund is Severn Trent Water's way of backing local charities and community groups. The company has committed over £20 million across the ten years from 2020. If you are helping to make a real and tangible difference in the communities where Severn Trent lives and works, the funder says it wants to hear from you. The fund suits charities and community groups doing practical good locally. The page does not list the costs it pays for, so the best guide is the work it has already supported. Past awards are shown through annual reviews, an interactive map and posts tagged #STCommunityFund on social media. Decisions are not made behind closed doors. An independent Community Fund Customer Panel reviews applications, so ultimately it is customers who decide where the money goes. That makes it worth knowing what the Panel has backed before. The reviews look back at the causes supported over the last five years. They give you a good idea of the types of applications likely to be successful with the Customer Panel. The interactive map lets you search by postcode, zoom in to your area or go full screen. Each pin marks an award, and you can click one to see how the fund is helping communities near you. One practical point: the page is mainly a showcase of the fund and the awards it has made. Read a few of the funded stories before you start, so you can see how other groups have described their work. Official source: https://www.stwater.co.uk/about-us/severn-trent-community-fund/.
