National Lottery Community Fund Closures

Posted on 5 July 2022 by Christie McAlpine in National Lottery Lottery

A reminder that the National Lottery Community Fund Community Led and Improving Lives programmes will close to applications from Friday 30 September 2022 ahead of their new portfolio launch in early 2023.

National Lottery Awards for All, Young Start and Scottish Land Fund are not part of this review and will remain open to applications.

What this means for groups

• If you have already submitted an application to Community Led or Improving Lives it will be assessed as usual.

• If you already have an application form but haven't applied yet, they advise applying as soon as possible. If you're no longer going to apply or are unsure of about the timescale for this, please contact your Funding Officer.

• If you were considering applying to one of these programmes but haven't discussed this with the Lottery or requested an application form yet, you should contact them as soon as possible so the Funding Officer in your area can advise you.

• If you have an existing grant under one of these which you wish to continue, you should speak to your Funding Officer if you've not already done so.

If you have any questions, please contact 0300 123 7110 or advicescotland@tnlcommunityfund.org.uk to speak to the area funding teams.
