Electrical Fire Safety Fund
The motion
That the Parliament recognises that Electrical Safety First’s Electrical Fire Safety Fund is now open for applications; understands that the Fund, which opens until 6 March 2020, aims to provide direct benefit to local communities through project-based partnerships that will deliver outcomes that, in the long term, will contribute to a reduction in the number of electrically-related accidental fires and associated injuries in UK homes; acknowledges that applicants are invited to apply for up to £5,000 per organisation; notes that grants are available to consumer safety organisations in the community, such as fire and rescue services, trading standards teams and charities, to deliver effective fire prevention measures at local level aimed at tackling the causes of fires in homes started by electricity, and recognises that, this year, preference will be given to projects that seek to address the risks of fires associated with electrical products and appliances.
