The National Lottery Community Fund - Reaching Communities England

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.

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.

You can expect us to be flexible and responsive to your community’s needs:

• whether you need long- or shorter-term funding

• whether your request is for a particular activity or to create more fundamental change

• whether the funding is to support a single organisation or to bring organisations together.

• Support for people, communities and organisations that are facing increased demands and challenges as direct result of the cost-of-living crisis

• Support for organisations so that they can address the immediate issues that are impacting their delivery as a direct result of the cost-of-living crisis during this year and future years.
