The National Lottery Community Fund can fund projects or partnerships that’ll do at least one of these things:

  • Bring people together to build strong relationships in and across communities
  • Improve the places and spaces that matter to communities
  • Help more people to reach their potential, by supporting them at the earliest possible stage

The funding is:

  • For the long or short term
  • For a specific activity, or for broader costs to help your organisation or community
  • To bring organisations together
  • To support people, communities and organisations most affected by the cost-of-living crisis
  • To help organisations address the impact of the cost-of-living crisis on how they work, now and in the future

The types of partnership that can be funded include:

  • Cross-sector partnerships
  • Local organisations working together in their area
  • Local and national organisations working together around a particular theme.

Applications can be submitted at any time.
