• Climate Action: promoting thriving communities by preventing, preparing for and protecting against the impacts of climate change
• Financial Wellbeing: helping people take control of their wellbeing by giving them the tools to be more financially independent and ready for anything.
We want to hear how your project will strengthen your community and help people to lead healthier, happier lives and give them an opportunity to look to the future with confidence.
For example, if you submitted a woodland regeneration project, think about how it could help local people as well as the environment – could it offer therapeutic activities for locals or will it improve the quality of life of people who live in the area, forge new connections or boost the local economy?
Or if you’re focused on helping people reach their goal of long-term employment, we want to hear the details of how you go about it. What skills are they learning? How are you tackling the psychological or societal barriers to employment? What kind of impact will your plans have on the wider community?
Big community impact comes from big, bold ideas. Ideas that innovate. Ideas unafraid to push things forward. That’s why we’re looking for projects that:
• develop a new approach, product or technology; or
• implement a new initiative or pilot a new scheme; or
• expand existing services to a new area or beneficiary group; or
• adapt services to meet today's needs without compromising those of future generations
Your project must also:
• be submitted by an applicant aged 18 or older
• be UK-based and for the benefit of UK communities
• not be for the benefit of any one individual
Your organisation must also:
• be registered in the UK as a charity or social enterprise
• have a bank account in its own name and have been operating for over 12 months.
Find out if your project has what it takes to be part of our community fund.
If you’re not eligible, we still want to support your cause. Take a look at how else you can be part of building a brighter future.
