The UK Fund is one of our first significant commitments as part of the National Lottery Community Fund's new strategy, ‘It starts with community.'
They're looking to fund organisations that want to do more to help communities come together and help make us a better-connected society.
Your project must either work across the UK, or be able to inform, influence or scale across the UK.
The National Lottery Community Fund want to fund projects that:
They'll fund ambitious projects that aim to create longer-term, transformational change. They'll take an equity-based approach to tackle inequality. This means they'll fund where there’s greatest need.
Groundwork is delivering these community grants, designed to support unemployed and/or economically inactive people with complex barriers to move towards employment and digital inclusion.
These grants support projects that meet health and wellbeing related needs, and build strength within communities. We'll be offering grants up to £10,000 with possibility of two year funding.
A wide range of UK registered charities based and working in the UK can apply for one-off grants of up to £5,000 for garden projects or up to £10,000 for building or indoor projects.
