Application deadline:  Ongoing

This funding will help strengthen communities and improve lives across England and is available to all communities. The priority is the places, people and communities that need it most.

By ‘community’ we mean people living in the same area. Or people with similar interests or life experiences, even if they do not live in the same area.

The priorities are to fund projects that:

  • support places, people or communities experiencing poverty, disadvantage or discrimination
    and
  • support people and communities to shape the decisions that affect their lives.

And your project must achieve one of our missions. Which are to support communities to:

  • Come together, through inclusive places, spaces and activities (either physical or virtual). Especially for communities where people are least able to come together.
  • Help children and young people thrive, by developing positive social and emotional skills.
  • Be healthier, by addressing health inequalities. And helping prevent poor health.
  • Be environmentally sustainable. By engaging with climate issues and having a positive environmental impact. And improving access to quality natural spaces.

Funding is more likely if the work achieves one or two of these missions really well. For more see the priorities.

Funding starts at £20,001. But most applications are for less than £500,000 in total. See what you can spend the money on.
