The National Lottery Community Fund has a critical role to play in supporting communities to unleash their energy and potential so they can get to where they want to be. We are one of 12 distributors of National Lottery funding.
We work closely with the Department for Digital, Culture, Media and Sport (DCMS) and the license holder for The National Lottery, currently Allwyn, to distribute National Lottery funding across the UK.
Social connections and community activities are at the heart of creating healthier, happier lives and a flourishing society. That’s why The National Lottery Community Fund supports amazing community-led projects, and why we’re looking to make a bigger difference in the years ahead, by listening and responding to communities and by focusing on supporting bolder change.
Thanks to National Lottery players, we plan to distribute at least £4 billion of funding by 2030. Supporting projects that will create resilient communities that are more inclusive and environmentally sustainable. Projects that will strengthen society and improve lives across the UK.
Our work is divided into five portfolios, covering funding across England, Northern Ireland, Wales, Scotland, and the UK. Each of these portfolios has its own committee of non-executives making major funding decisions via three funding streams: small grants under £20,000, larger grants of over £20,001 and partnership grants that support organisations to collaborate and innovate.

Young Enterprise is the UK’s leading financial and enterprise education charity.
We believe every young person, whatever their starting point, deserves the chance to build the skills, confidence and experience needed to succeed in life, including managing their money well.
Our hands-on, practical programmes help young people develop confidence, teamwork, problem-solving and money skills that last a lifetime.
Through volunteers, educators and partners, we connect young people with opportunities and role models that can open doors.
Our Transforming Futures strategy commits us to making these opportunities truly inclusive and accessible, especially for those facing the biggest barriers. We’re building a fairer system that values enterprise and financial education, drives social mobility and helps every young person unlock their potential, regardless of their starting point in life.
