What Shell is doing

Supporting our local communities

We have a long-standing presence in the UK with strong ties with the communities who live close to our sites.

We support communities near to our UK operations in a number of ways, through activities that meet community needs or address particular issues, often based on their suggestions. Our contribution to communities’ ranges from providing grants to local charities to supporting projects that help reduce crime in the area.

Community Grants

Shell UK's Community Grants support charities or organisations with delivery of impactful projects, events and positive outcomes for local communities.

Grants of up to £1,000 are available for community groups and charities near our offices or operations in Fife (near Mossmorran), Aberdeenshire (near St Fergus), Bacton, and Aberdeen city.

Applications are open and will be considered on a rolling basis until 8th Dec 2025.

As this is a community initiative and we target the grants to benefit our neighbours, we regret we do not extend this offer beyond the communities where we operate.

Shell UK has other social investment programmes that are active outside these areas where we operate.
