Webinar: Meet the Funders With the National Lottery Community Fund

Posted on 26 November 2025 by Kirsty Young

Looking for funding for your organisation?

Join us online for a Meet the Funder session with The National Lottery Community Fund Scotland. This is a fantastic opportunity to hear directly from the funder about their open programmes, learn what they’re prioritising, and discover the support available for existing grant holders.
Whether you’re planning a new project or looking to grow what you already offer, this session will give you practical insights and tips to help you on your funding journey.

What to expect:
• Hear about current funding priorities and helpful application tips
• Find out how your organisation could benefit from longer-term, larger grants through programmes like:
o Community Action – supporting projects that bring people together and improve wellbeing
o Fairer Life Chances – helping children, families, and vulnerable communities thrive
o Awards for All Scotland – small grants for local, inclusive activities
o Young Start – empowering young people to reach their potential
• Learn about the grant holder support offer, designed to help funded organisations strengthen, innovate, and grow
• Ask questions and connect with other community groups
