The National Lottery Community Fund is the largest single source of community funding in the UK. We support amazing projects that help to strengthen society and improve lives. National Lottery players raise an incredible £30 million a week for good causes. This money funds projects and activities that transform communities, protect our heritage, and enrich lives. We are proud to be one of 12 distributors responsible for awarding this funding across the UK. We also distribute non-National Lottery funds, working closely with UK Government on funding for important issues such as youth social action and health and wellbeing.

This opportunity comes at a time of significant renewal at the Fund following the launch of our new strategy, It starts with community, setting a new direction to 2030. England Committee Members joining at this exciting time will be responsible for overseeing delivery within England, when growth in returns to good causes is expected, alongside the Fund’s ongoing third party and dormant assets work.

This is an exciting time to join the Fund’s England Committee.
