Third Sector Funding

The UK Fund is one of our first significant commitments as part of the National Lottery Community's fund new strategy, ‘It starts with community.'

the fund is looking to fund organisations that want to do more to help communities come together and help make a better-connected society.

Your project must either work across the UK, or be able to inform, influence or scale across the UK.
projects that:

strengthen relationships between people whose experiences of life have not been the same. For example, relationships between people of different ethnic backgrounds, generations, occupations or geographies

create connections between online and offline worlds

help make sure people from all backgrounds can shape the future of their communities.

they will fund ambitious projects that aim to create longer-term, transformational change. We’ll take an equity-based approach to tackle inequality. This means we’ll fund where there’s greatest need.
