The National Lottery Community Fund - Peoples Project

 



The People’s Projects is back, with The National Lottery, ITV, UTV and, for the first time this year, the Sunday Mail. We’re giving community organisations the chance to apply for funding of up to £70,000.

 

After a national campaign the winners will be decided by public vote. The idea is to give Lottery players and the public a say in how National Lottery money is spent.

 

We’re looking for projects that meet one of the following:

  • bring people together and build strong relationships in and across communities
  • make communities stronger and more inclusive
  • help people or communities develop the skills and capacity they need to achieve their ambitions
  • involve the people you support in the design, development and delivery of your project
  • support people to create meaningful change in their local community or help it thrive
  • help people and communities connect by engaging with nature
  • build connections across different cultures, different communities, or both.

 

We’re looking for imaginative ideas from organisations that have already done good work in their local community. We’ll prioritise smaller organisations with annual turnovers of under £500,000.

 

We’ll award grants of up to £70,000 to 57 winners across the UK. We will offer up to 38 runner-up organisations awards of as much as £10,000.

 

This is an exciting opportunity, but it will take time and commitment over several months to get your project the votes you need to win. Before deciding to apply, consider if you’re happy running a public campaign that could bring lots of publicity to your project. We’ll provide free support and training to help you do this.

 

Area: UK-wide

Suitable for: Voluntary and community organisations

Funding size: up to £70,000

Total available: Up to £4.37 million

Application deadline: 12 noon on Friday 7th October 2022, or when we have reached our limit for applications for this fund if that’s sooner.
