If you have a great idea to support your community, you may be able to apply to The National Lottery Community Fund for a grant to turn your idea into a reality.  

As the largest funder of community activity in the UK, we are proud to support grassroots groups and charities doing amazing things. Thanks to National Lottery players last year we awarded over half a billion pounds of life-changing funding to communities across the UK.   

If you want advice on funding for your project, you can contact our advice team during working hours Monday to Friday on 0300 123 0735 or email them at wales@tnlcommunityfund.org.uk . They are always happy to have a chat and point you in the right direction. 

Our friendly staff also get out and about in communities across Wales.  You will find them at funding surgeries, funding fairs and grant information drop-ins where you can either drop in or book an appointment to speak to them face to face.   

These are a great way to get information on how to apply, to understand what we are looking for in your application and to answer your funding questions.  

Here is a list of funding surgeries, funding fairs and grant information drop-ins coming up across Wales soon:
