This fund is repurposed from National Lottery funds to enable individuals and organisations to adapt and respond to current changing circumstances.
Funding is available between £1k and £100k and the overall budget totals £7.5m. It is open all year round, with no deadlines and can support activity for up to 12 months. Awards made to date have been typically between £7k and £50k for organisations and £1k to £15k for individuals.
Application process: Applicants complete one Word application form. Applications under 15k will be assessed in 8 weeks (10 weeks over Christmas period) although applicants are advised to leave a further 5 weeks before beginning their project – meaning you should apply 13 weeks prior to your project starting. Applications must have a budget and risk assessment attached.
