Funding Masterclass: Applying for 'Awards For All'

This workshop is a practical hands-on guide to applying to Awards for All, a well known small grants programme from The National Lottery Community Fund.

A bit about the fund

Awards for All funds projects lasting up to two years, with grants between £300 and £20,000. It’s a brilliant fund – open to a wide variety of VCSE organisations, and covering all sorts of projects.

You can use the funding to start a new activity, continue an existing one or help your organisation adapt to new challenges. Awards for All grants fund projects that:

  • 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
  • support people, communities and organisations facing more demands and challenges because of the cost-of-living crisis

How this workshop can help

We have supported many of our members to successfully apply for Awards for All, and our experienced coach Paul will share what we’ve learnt and how to put it into practice for the best chance of success.

You’ll get an overview of Awards for All, and an introduction to the application process. It’s a practical workshop, with the intention for you to leave with the bones of an application that won’t take long to turn around.

This workshop is for VCSE organisations working in Wakefield District, with an idea for an Awards for All application or currently in the process of applying.

Further support will be available if you need help to get your application over the line.
