CRAIG WILLIAMS MP HOSTING ‘MEET THE FUNDER’ EVENT WITH THE NATIONAL LOTTERY COMMUNITY FUND

Craig Williams MP will next month host a ‘Meet the Funder’ session, open to any Montgomeryshire organisation who wants to find out more about The National Lottery Community Fund (TNLCF).

The afternoon will be jointly hosted with the TNLCF, where Funding Officer Chris Baker will be on hand to outline the various grant strands currently available, and how organisations across Montgomeryshire can apply.

TNLCF supports projects which improve the quality of life for individuals through their Awards for All and People and Places programmes.

• Awards for All grants are from £300 - £10,000
• People and Places has two levels of grants, one from £10,001 - £100,000, and then grants from £100,001 - £500,000 to support much larger projects.

The National Lottery believes people should be the lead focus in improving their lives and communities. TNLCF is therefore interested in ideas which bring people together, strengthening relationships in and across communities, and supporting people to shape the place which matter to them. Currently, projects which focus on addressing help for cost of living issues and mental health support are being given high priority, but all proposals which correctly meet the criteria are welcomed.

The event will be held on Friday 21st April from 1:30pm, within the meeting room at Welshpool and Llanfair Light Railway, Llanfair Caereinion.

Commenting, Craig Williams MP said:

“I’m very pleased to be jointly hosting a Meet the Funder event with The National Lottery Community Fund. The event will give community groups, charities and social enterprises across Montgomeryshire the opportunity to learn about the different funding opportunities currently available with the TNLCF, as well as providing insight into the application process.

“TNLCF has supported a range of projects led by passionate Montgomeryshire people, groups and charities over many years, and this event will be the perfect opportunity for your group to learn more about accessing crucial funding for your project.”

As there is only space for a limited number of organisations, the event is bookable on a first come, first served basis. Please contact Craig Williams MP’s office on 01938 552315 or email [email protected] to make a booking for further information.
