Funding to Encourage People to Get Involved in their Local Community (UK)

Not for profit organisations can apply for grants of between £1,000 and £5,000 to help improve community spaces and deliver sustainable and healthy activities for communities in the UK. 

The funding is being made available through a new fund launched by the National Lottery in partnership with furnishing retailer IKEA Limited. The £1.5 million Places Called Home Fund aims to build on the energy, creativity and practices of communities coming together during the COVID-19 pandemic, through local activities and the renewal of community spaces. 

Further details will be provided once the scheme launches on the 30th June 2021.

The Fund will close on the 14th July 2021, or upon receipt of 1,500 applications, whichever comes first.
