Awards for All Workshop




Awards for All England is a simple small grants scheme making awards of between £300 and £10,000. The Awards for All programme aims to help improve local communities and the lives of people most in need. 

To do this they want to fund projects that meet one or more of the following outcomes:
• People have better chances in life - with better access to training and development to improve their life skills.
• Stronger communities - with more active citizens working together to tackle their problems.
• Improved rural and urban environments - which communities are better able to access and enjoy.
• Healthier and more active people and communities.
The application form is short and simple and you will find out if you are successful within six weeks.

You may be eligible to apply for an Awards for All grant if your project can meet one of the criteria mentioned above, and:
• you are a not-for-profit group (including social enterprises), or you are a parish or town council, school or health body.
• you have a bank account that requires at least two unrelated people to sign each cheque or withdrawal.
• you have a governing body with at least three unrelated members
• you can spend the grant within one year.
In partnership with Community First for Portsmouth, Pat Cook from The Big Lottery will be holding a FREE two-hour workshop to explain more about Awards for All and the application process 
Wednesday 12th October 11am - 1.00 pm at Community First for Portsmouth, 338 Commercial Road, Portsmouth PO1 4BT.
