The stars made the donation to Depher CIC, a non-profit organisation in Burnley which helps elderly, vulnerable and disabled people who are struggling to heat their homes.
It’s not the first time the couple have made a donation, giving a whopping £55,000 to the charity since October 2021.
James Anderson, founder of Depher, said the donation came at a much-needed time due to the national cost of living crisis.
Posting on Twitter, James said: “This wonderful and humbling donation of £20,000 will give hope to thousands of people, families and children, especially with the cost of living crisis.
“They both have my lifetime of respect and love.”

Previously, James described Hugh as a “God” and a “life-saver”.
James tweeted that with part of the latest donation, the charity purchased Christmas gifts for children in the area.
He posted: “Hundreds of children will have a Christmas to remember, they will believe in the magic of giving, humanity and love. Thank you, Hugh Grant and Anna Grant.
“Your kindness will create memories that will last forever.”
