They’re looking to fund COVID-19 projects and will prioritise:

• organisations supporting people most likely to face increased demand and challenges as a result of the COVID-19 crisis
• organisations which connect communities and support communities to work together to respond to COVID-19.

They will also fund organisations with great project ideas that:

• bring people together and build strong relationships in and across communities
• improve the places and spaces that matter to communities
• help more people to reach their potential, by supporting them at the earliest possible stage.
