Reaching Communities England
What is available?
£20,001 or more, for up to 5 years
With this funding we’ll help strengthen communities and improve lives across England. Our funding is available to all communities. But our priority is the places, people and communities that need it most.
By ‘community’ we mean people living in the same area. Or people with similar interests or life experiences, even if they do not live in the same area.
Our priorities are to fund projects that:
- support places, people or communities experiencing poverty, disadvantage or discrimination
and - support people and communities to shape the decisions that affect their lives.
And your project must achieve one of our missions. Which are to support communities to:
- Come together, through inclusive places, spaces and activities (either physical or virtual). Especially for communities where people are least able to come together.
- Help children and young people thrive, by developing positive social and emotional skills.
- Be healthier, by addressing health inequalities. And helping prevent poor health.
- Be environmentally sustainable. By engaging with climate issues and having a positive environmental impact. And improving access to quality natural spaces.
We’re more likely to fund work that achieves one or two of these missions really well. For more see our priorities.
Funding starts at £20,001. But most applications we fund are for less than £500,000. We can fund many different types and sizes of work. See what you can spend the money on.
