When people are in the lead, communities thrive

The National Lottery Community Fund has today announced it is working alongside five expert partnerships to ensure almost £45 million of National Lottery funding reaches communities most vulnerable to the impact of COVID-19.

The National Lottery Community Fund is today announcing over £12 million to 311 Scottish groups with the lion’s share going to projects that will transform existing buildings into vibrant community hubs.
