Social connections and community activities are at the heart of creating healthier, happier lives and a flourishing society. That’s why we support amazing community-led projects.
The National Lottery Community Fund offer funding from £300 to £20,000. And can support your project for up to two years.
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.
The National Lottery Community Fund can fund projects that’ll do at least one of these things:
Grants of up to £45,000 are available, offering development funding and strategic support to early-stage charities and social enterprises.
Unrestricted grants for community and voluntary sports groups delivering activities for a social purpose to under-represented communities. The 2025/26 programme is focused on supporting adult participation in sport.
Grants of up to £10,000 over 18 months are available to women’s and girls’ organisations to support campaigning and influencing work that enables women and girls to use their voice to achieve change.
