Local charities have the opportunity to apply for a share of a £6 million funding pot, raised by players of People’s Postcode Lottery.
The funding will be allocated through three Trusts, which support different categories of projects. There will be two opportunities for groups to apply in 2017 (January and August) and £3 million will be available for each funding round.
The application process is simple. The first round - which opens from 23 January until 10 February 2017 - starts with organisations being encouraged to submit an 'expression of interest' form. Charities will then be shortlisted to complete a full application for funding.
In August, interested groups and organisations can apply or re-apply when a second pot of £3million will become available. The maximum a project can receive is £20,000.
