National Lottery Awards for All England

A quick way to apply for smaller amounts of funding between £300 and £10,000. We're here to support communities with the things that are important to them, including mitigating the impact of the cost-of-living crisis and supporting them as they seek to recover, rebuild and grow following the Covid-19 pandemic. 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:

• 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 that are facing increased demands and challenges as a direct result of the cost-of-living crisis.

If your project focuses on sports, arts or heritage

When we assess sports, arts and heritage projects, we're looking for projects where the main aim is to strengthen your community in some way. We know most sports, arts and heritage projects are good for communities generally. But we're looking for projects that do a little more. Let's think about an online dance group for young people. Dance is good exercise, so it promotes health (which is great). But we're looking at how that activity strengthens the community too. Maybe it helps the community with social isolation. Or the project might aim to move young people away from anti-social behaviour.

Grants have previously been given to projects that support access to community Public Access Defibrillators.
