National Lottery Community Fund Announces Major Expansion to its Grassroots Funding Programme (UK)
The National Lottery Community Fund has announced a major expansion to its grassroots funding programme.
The new three-year Corporate Plan aims to reach over 80% of communities across the UK. The funding is focused on four community-led missions supporting communities to:
• Come together,
• Be environmentally sustainable,
• Help children and young people thrive,
• Enable people to live healthier lives. In addition to expanding its grassroots funding, the programme plans to award over half of all grants to disadvantaged communities, and at least 15% will support environmental sustainability projects.
Further details will be made available in due course.
