We can all play a role to play in helping to address this... At @tnlcommunityfund.org.uk, we’re privileged to have thousands of people talk to us about what’s important to them, and the issues they face.

12 months on from the launch of our corporate plan & the largest expansion in our funding for three decades, @ceo.tnlcommunityfund.org.uk reflects on the significant progress we’ve made & where we’re focusing our efforts further to deliver bold change for communities with #NationalLottery funding.
We award over £2.1 million every day to projects to do extraordinary things to improve their lives and communities. 

We fund a community project every eight minutes. 

82% of our grants go to organisations with an income of less than £1 million, and 84% of our grants are distributed through small grants.
