Apply for lottery funding

Local charities and good causes have until the end of today to apply for funding for their organisation.

Organisations can apply for grants between £500 and £20,000.

The funding boost is available thanks to players of the People’s Postcode Lottery.

Interested organisations can apply to one of four trusts, which each support projects focused on different themes: Postcode Neighbourhood Trust; People’s Postcode Trust; Postcode Community Trust; or Postcode Local Trust.

Good causes should apply to the trust that best supports their aims.

Short funding guides and an eligibility quiz can be found on each trust website to help applicants.

Laura Chow, head of charities at People’s Postcode Lottery, said: “I’m delighted that players of People’s Postcode Lottery are able to support these organisations with this funding opportunity.

“Nearly £7 million will be awarded in grants, so I urge smaller, local good causes and groups to visit the trust websites.”
