Meet the Funder with The National Lottery Community Fund (Online)

We are hosting a one-hour Meet the Funder event with The National Lottery Community Fund. TNLCF is the largest single source of funding for community activities in the UK. National Lottery players contribute around £30 million to good causes every week. The National Lottery Community Fund distributes around £600m a year to communities across the UK.

Kerri Swindells is a Funding Officer in the Greater Manchester Team working in Tameside and Stockport. Kerri will be here to tell you more about the Funds on offer, how to apply and answer any questions. Kerri will also be able to outline and talk through the National Lottery Community Fund's new strategy and funding priorities.

You’ll be able to find out more on:

• The different grants available
• Application Process & Due diligence
• Decision making and payment

You will then have time to ask any questions you may have about the grants, advice on how to apply, and anything else!

This event is aimed at those working, volunteering, or starting out in the VCFSE (voluntary, community and faith-based groups, and social enterprise organisations) sector in Stockport.
