Community Organisations Cost of Living Fund

Following our campaigning, in March 2023 the government announced funding to help community organisations tackle the cost of living crisis in their communities. This funding, administered by The National Lottery Community Fund (TNLCF), is now open for applications until 16 October 2023.

We invited Ruth Bamford, Funding and Relationships Manager at TNLCF, to talk Locality members through the guidance and eligibility for the fund. Our CEO, Tony Armstrong, clarified points with Ruth and directly put to her a huge number of questions submitted by Locality members who joined online.
