Grant News

The National Lottery Community Fund has announced a new funding programme addressing health inequities caused by structural racism and discrimination.

This refers to the ways that systems and practices affect people based on their race. This can include:

• rules and processes
• the way services are usually organised
• everyday behaviours and decisions

The Health Inequities: Structural Racism and Discrimination Partnership programme will support up to ten partner organisations in England with grants ranging from £250,000 to £5 million over five years.

The programme focuses on organisations led by and working with racialised communities, including:

• Black communities
• Gypsy, Roma and Traveller communities
• Jewish communities
• Middle Eastern and East Asian communities
• South Asian communities

Partners will:

• work with people in your communities to reduce inequities caused by structural racism and discrimination
• work with us and other partners to share learning, test new ideas, and shape future funding

Funding is available for both new and existing work, including the costs of project delivery and collaboration with partners.

Potential applicants can learn more about this funding and the application process at the upcoming webinars.

Applications open on the 15th October 2025, and close on the 26th November 2025.
