Funding

The Community Organisations Cost of Living Fund

The Community Organisations Cost of Living Fund offers grants to organisations supporting people and communities in England who are experiencing severe pressure due to the increased cost of living, particularly those from low-income households. It is delivered by the National Lottery Community Fund and funded by the UK government, and offers grants up to £75,000.

Eligible organisations delivering critical services, which have experienced an increase in demand and delivery costs due to cost of living challenges, can apply for the funding before October’s deadline.

The fund will offer grants to charitable and community organisations to help with the increased demand for existing critical frontline services or increased delivery costs. Organisations must run existing services that include food and emergency supplies such as food banks, emergency shelter, safe spaces such as domestic abuse services, warmth services, or financial and housing advice. This could be a one-stop-shop model where people can access multiple services, or cover individual services separately.
