NCVS is hosting this free online session to enable you to gain an understanding of the National Lottery Community Fund's new ‘It Starts With Community’ strategy. Join us on Thursday 20 November 2025, from 10.30am to 11.30am, to find out how your organisation could benefit.
Marc Lupson will take you through the Fund’s new priorities and provide details on:
- Awards for All - up to £20,000 for up to two years
- Reaching Communities - £20,001 and upwards for up to five years
Marc will also share some key messaging around what groups need to consider before applying for funding, focusing on the current landscape within Nottingham and the strategy’s Environment Mission. Helen, NCVS's Sector Growth Coordinator, will also be on hand to discuss ongoing support for your organisation.
Marc has been a Funding Manager at the National Lottery Community Fund since 2018, joining the Fund when it moved to a Regional Way of Working model.
Please register now to ensure you are sent instructions about how to join the session on Zoom.
We expect a high demand for this session, so please book early to avoid disappointment. Priority will be given to VCSE organisations operating in Nottingham City and surrounding areas of Nottinghamshire.
