Health Lottery funding available

If your community group has a great idea to make your area a better place to grow, live, work and age – but doesn’t have the cash to turn it into reality – help is at hand.

The People’s Health Trust, funded by the Health Lottery, is inviting applications for funding from its Active Communities programme.

It’s aimed at not-for-profit groups with an income of less than £350,000 a year, seeking between £5,000 and £50,000 for projects lasting up to two years.

Projects could be almost anything – designed and run by local people – that encourages strong connections and helps them improve their communities.
