Million Hours Fund (2025 to 2027)
- Project location: England
- Amount: £30,000 to £100,000
- A decision in: 16 weeks
- Programme status: Closed to applications
We're now closed to new applicants for the Million Hours Fund.
If you’ve started an application already, you can still submit it until midday on Tuesday 30 September.
We’re closing this funding earlier than planned because of the large number of applications we’re getting.
This funding is for organisations to give extra support to young people in areas with higher rates of anti-social behaviour. We’ll fund extra hours of youth work to give these young people more places to go and positive things to do. See the ‘What we’ll fund’ section for more details.
This is the third phase of the Million Hours Fund. It is funded by the Department for Culture, Media and Sport (DCMS) and The National Lottery Community Fund.
We can only fund projects in certain parts of England. The work you want us to fund must take place in, or benefit young people living in, one of the eligible ward areas.
