Telford MP, Lucy Allan, is calling on groups and local charities across Telford to submit applications for funding of up to £20,000 via the People’s Postcode Lottery.
Charities and community groups can apply to receive grants of between £500 and £20,000 raised by players of People’s Postcode Lottery.
Between 14 and 28 February 2018, charities are being urged to submit an expression of interest in the funding, which requires basic details about the organisation, as well as a very short description of the project they are proposing.
The funding is made available through three different charitable trusts depending on the type of project:
- People’s Postcode Trust seeks applications for projects that focus on the prevention of poverty, promotion of human rights and equal rights.
- Postcode Local Trust supports community gardens, play areas, wildlife and green energy projects.
- Postcode Community Trust focuses on grass-roots sports, arts, recreation and healthy living programmes.
For more information on how to apply for funding, please visit the Trusts’ websites:

Telford MP, Ms Allan, said:
"This is a great opportunity for our community groups and charities, and I encourage as many Telford-based groups as possible to apply.”
Clara Govier, Head of Charities at People’s Postcode Lottery, said:
“2017 was a fantastic year for hundreds of grass-roots projects across Great Britain, who received funding from these three Trusts in excess of £8.2 Million. We want to encourage charities to grab this opportunity so that they can continue to make a huge difference to communities around the country.”
