The National Lottery Community Fund is the largest community funder in the UK. Each year we distribute hundreds of millions of pounds raised by National Lottery players to support people and communities across England, Scotland, Wales and Northern Ireland.
Our purpose is simple: to support communities to thrive. We do this by funding organisations and initiatives that strengthen connections between people, improve wellbeing, and help communities come together to shape their own futures.
Our current strategy, It Starts with Community, reflects our belief that the best ideas and solutions come from communities themselves. Through our funding we support people to build strong relationships, take action on the issues that matter most to them, and create lasting change where they live.
