About Us

The National Lottery Community Fund is the largest funder of community activity in the UK - we’re proud to award money raised by players of The National Lottery  to communities across the UK.

At the heart of everything we do is the belief that when people are in the lead, communities thrive. National Lottery funding is open to everyone and we’re privileged to be able to work with the smallest of grassroots groups right up to large UK-wide charities and community groups. 

We support a wide range of projects with grants ranging from as little as £500 to multi-million-pound programmes.

Last year alone we gave out over half a billion pounds (£588.2 million) of National Lottery funding to over 14,000 community projects across the UK, enabling even more people and communities to bring their ideas and ambitions to life. Over eight in ten (83%) of our grants were for less than £10k, going to grassroots groups and charities.

We are here to support people and communities through bad times as well as good – and that has never been so important as this year. Thanks to National Lottery players, we’ve been able to respond quickly and positively to communities working hard to mitigate the impact of COVID-19. Their efforts have been humbling and inspiring and we’re delighted to have been able to help by distributing over £400 million pounds in National Lottery funding alone across the UK since the first lockdown began in March 2020.

You will spend time having in-depth conversations with applicants, their stakeholders, beneficiaries and the broader sector in your effort to understand their wider ecosystem, barriers and opportunities.

You will write thorough progress and assessment reports for the UK Funding Committee and Panel to update them on the progress of our work and seek strategic input or to provide them with evidence-based recommendations on how proposals fit with the Fund’s strategic objectives, enabling them to make fair and informed decisions. 

You will develop relationships with funding teams and other colleagues across our four Directorates and proactively create opportunities for exchange of learning and best practice. You will also reach out to them to seek advice on their local context.

You’ll use a variety of communication channels and tools to share learning internally and externally promoting learning through networks and platforms. You will be curious and excited about innovation in funding, and you will participate and contribute in peer review meetings driving discussion, debate and challenge.

You will identify opportunities for developing our pipeline, linking up with what is happening and making connections between similar initiatives within the Fund and externally by actively participating in networks, events etc.

You may need to travel from time to time for this role (when travel is more possible), supporting colleagues and communities across the UK as we develop and deliver their programme.
