"I've visited some of them and seen the difference their projects are making in our communities. That's why I'm hosting this workshop in order to raise awareness of the type of funding available, and to share tips on how to get the most out of each grant application. I urge all local charities to register for the event."

Funding, made possible thanks to National Lottery players, is available through two main programmes called National Lottery Awards for All and People and Places programmes.

National Lottery Awards for All awards up to £10,000 for a range of community projects, including projects that are responding to the cost-of-living.

People and Places awards up to £500,000 for communities to work together to make positive longer-term impacts on the things that matter to them.
