The People's Postcode Lottery currently has a funding pot of over £3million and is inviting local charities and community groups to apply for grants of between £500 and £20,000 during the two weeks beginning Wednesday 31st July and 14th August.
The funding is available through three different trusts, all funded by players of People's Postcode Lottery, and these are...
* People's Postcode Trust - wants applications from projects aimed at promoting human rights, combating discrimination and the prevention of poverty.
* Postcode Community Trust - supports initiatives working to improve the health and wellbeing of communities, including arts and physical recreation projects, as well as those with a focus on reducing isolation.
* Postcode Local Trust - provides funding to groups that are dedicated to improving outdoor space, in addition to increasing access to it. Groups working on flood prevention measures and looking to implement renewable energy strategies are also eligible to apply.
Over three hundred groups were awarded grants earlier this year, ranging from funding for military veterans' sports, to counselling support services for young carers, and sensory gardens for people with dementia.
"It's not just players who win with People's Postcode Lottery; over £3million in grants will have a tremendous impact on the fantastic work that grass-roots groups are doing in communities across Britain" says Laura Chow, head of charities at People's Postcode Lottery "Between the three trusts, there's scope for a huge array of projects to benefit and I would urge all groups to look at the funding guides and apply."
