The National Lottery Community Fund want to find out how to help communities move towards recovery and renewal after the impact of COVID-19 and draw on all the creativity we’ve seen in communities and across civil society. The Emergency Futures Fund will fund organisations to look at how things are changing, what is needed in this transition, and what is possible in the future
The pandemic has caused a great deal of hardship, and presented new challenges to communities across the UK. It has also created space for changes and new ways of doing things that we might not have thought of before.
The National Lottery Community Fund would like to support communities to consider how they can start the transition from the immediate crisis, towards recovery and renewal.
The National Lottery Community Fund want to invest in the creativity of civil society and help amplify the voices of communities through stories, narratives and public imagination projects that can lead to new ideas, questions and visions of the future. The National Lottery Community Fund value the power of storytelling and know that people and communities are able to use stories and narratives to talk about ideas for the future and how to get there, as well as practical ways that can help us move toward recovery and renewal.
Grants of between £20,000 - £50,000 are available over 3 to 6 months.
