The fund will support projects aimed at helping those who are most vulnerable to electrical risk and injury. This could include:

  • Older people, particularly those living alone or in older housing where electrical systems may
    be outdated.
  • Low-income households, where faulty or second-hand electrical products are more likely to be
    used
  • Families with young children, as children are less aware of electrical dangers.
  • People with disabilities or long-term health conditions, who may have reduced mobility, sensory
    impairments, or reliance on electrical medical devices.
  • Tenants in private rented housing, where electrical safety standards can sometimes be
    inconsistent

The funding is made available through the Electrical Safety Fund, which aims to keep people safe in
their homes by tackling the risks associated with electrical products, increasing the public’s awareness
of electrical safety, and promoting changes in behaviour.

By applying to the Electrical Safety Fund, eligible organisations or community groups could receive
support to:

  • Tackle risks associated with unsafe electrical products and installations
  • Raise awareness of electrical safety and encourage safer behaviours
  • Deliver practical solutions, such as removing or repairing faulty products and installation

The type of activity that could be funded includes:

  • product testing and product replacement events (e.g. amnesty events to replace unsafe electric blankets, portable heaters etc.)
  • educational and raising awareness activities
  • home safety activities/visits
  • data collection projects that would support the fund’s national aims to prevent electrical-related injuries, such as collecting data relating to injuries caused by electrical products, and issues with products purchased from online marketplaces.
