Up to £3 million is available through The National Lottery Community Fund’s (TNLCF’s) Awards for All England programme this summer thanks to the Department for Culture, Media and Sport (DCMS) and National Lottery players. This is the 
first phase of funding of the Million Hours Fund, which totals £11 million up to March 2025.
Awards for All England welcomes applications for projects that will support young people primarily aged 11 to 18 (and up to 25 for young people with special educational needs and disabilities) starting during the 2023 school summer holidays. This funding will support a range of youth services offering a variety of positive activities for young people in eligible wards with the highest reported numbers of antisocial behaviour incidents..
Your project needs to be delivered by trusted adults, whether they are qualified youth workers/youth support workers or experienced volunteers, and provide open or targeted (for example, via youth faith groups) provision for young people. Whilst there is 12 months to spend the funding, this fund is designed to provide additional provision during the 2023 summer holidays, so it is expected that most spending to happen over the holiday period.
Deadline: This is a rolling fund, with a final closing date of 14 August 2023, 12pm.
