Community cohesion

Awards for All

 

National Lottery Awards for All offers funding from £300 to £10,000 to support what matters to people and communities.

National Lottery Awards for All has three funding priorities. Tell us in your application how you meet at least one of them.

Our priorities are:

Culture Seeds

 

Culture Seeds is part of the Mayor of London’s draft Strategy for Culture, Culture for all Londoners.

The new grants will be used to support community-led cultural projects in every London borough.

Culture Seeds will support small or informal organisations and groups.

The Mayor wants to see more local arts and culture activities created and put on by local people in London. That’s why Culture Seeds is aimed firmly at grassroots organisations.

Epping Forest District Council Grant Aid Scheme

 

The council awards grants to community organisations, including arts and culture groups, to fund activities that support social needs for the residents of Epping Forest.

To qualify for funding your group has to be based or active in the Epping Forest District.  Funding is available to improve facilities, purchase equipment and for new one-off projects or further development of an existing scheme.  It can also be used for publicity or venue hire.

Angus Allnatt Charitable Foundation Fund

 

The Fund supports charitable organisations that help young musicians aged 13-25 particularly those at the beginning of a professional career.

Funding is available for expenditure costs associated with projects. Due to the volume of applications received, applicants are advised to submit a proposal, or give notice that they intend to do so, at least six months in advance.

Applications should be made in writing to the Angus Allnatt Charitable Foundation.

Big Lottery Fund – Reaching Communities

 

Funding for ideas that make positive changes in communities e.g. lasting and sustainable changes to places and spaces, stronger and happier relationships between communities and action to focus on the root causes of social problems.

Voluntary or community groups can apply but need to have three unrelated members on the management committee. Grants must fund activity where the people who will benefit have influenced and/or be involved in its development, planning and delivery.
