Funding Available for Local Groups and Charities – 21 August 2017
The People’s Postcode Lottery have made £4 million in funding available for local charities and groups to apply for.
Applications for the latest round of funding are now open and will close on the 28th August.
Both charities and community groups are eligible to apply for the grants of between £500 and £20,000.
The funding will be allocated through one of three Trusts, which support different categories of projects:
- People’s Postcode Trust seeks applications for projects that focus on the prevention of poverty, promotion of human rights, equal rights and conflict resolution for some of society’s most vulnerable groups.
- Postcode Local Trust supports wildlife, sustainability, play areas and green spaces.
- Postcode Community Trust focuses on grass-roots sports, arts, recreation and healthy living programmes.
Over 400 projects were awarded with grants in the last funding round. With previously funded projects ranging from sports clubs, to mental health groups, to wildlife conservation charities, this is a fantastic opportunity for groups to access funding to make a difference in the local community.
