The National Lottery has added an additional priority to their small grants programme

You can apply for funding to deliver a new or existing activity or to support your organisation to change and adapt to new and future challenges.
In order to support communities, we fund projects and organisations which aim to:

• bring people together and 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.

In addition to meeting one or more of the above funding priorities we are also able to fund projects that:

• support people, communities and organisations that are facing increased demands and challenges as a direct result of the cost-of-living crisis.
