Awards for All
Changes to Awards for All have gone live. Visit the website to download the new guidance notes and application form. They will be launching a new online application process later in the year, but for now they will accept applications on the new form.
They have rebranded the programme slightly – now it’s called National Lottery Awards for All – hopefully by making reference to the lottery it will remind groups that buying a lottery ticket directly affects the awards we are able to make.
Groups will still only be able to apply for a maximum of £10,000 per year. However, you will also notice that some of the previous restrictions on what we couldn’t fund have been lifted. This is great news for some groups that needed salary costs or overheads for projects – although this should not be the main focus of the project. The project idea must now be clearly aligned to their vision of putting People in the Lead and the three new funding priorities of: stronger relationships, shared and sustainable places and spaces, and early action to prevent future problems.
The National Lottery have a webinar every Thursday at 3pm. To register, or to get further information about any of our programmes, contact their Big Advice Line on 0345 4 10 20 30.
