Over 3,500 grassroots organisations in Britain will receive a share of almost £17m. this year.
Local projects can apply for funding from the Postcode Neighbourhood Trust, which is for organisations operating in the north of England. Registered charities can apply for up to £20,000 of funding, which is available for both project-based and core costs.
Applications will be accepted every month until October.

Hide AdMr Higginbotham said: “Over the last year many local charities have responded to the covid pandemic by working to support and protect our communities. Yet the last year has also been a difficult time for charity fund-raising.
“The funds raised by People’s Postcode Lottery players and available to local charities are therefore a great chance for local organisations to secure funding.
“Players of People’s Postcode Lottery have already raised over £700m. for good causes and I would love to see some more successful applicants from this area so I urge all local charities and community groups to consider submitting an application.”
As a commitment to supporting smaller good causes, applications will only be accepted from organisations with an annual income of less than £1 million. Preference will be given to those with an income less than £500,000.
More information, including a funding guide and eligibility quiz, can be found on the trust’s website.
