The National Lottery Community Fund has provided £3.2 million in funding for the Women’s Urgent Support Fund, which will respond to the cost-of-living crisis faced by women. Round one of the Fund, administered by the Smallwood Trust, will award three-year grants of between £15,000 and £60,000 to enable 20 women’s-led community organisations to respond to the increase in demand for urgent and basic needs from women in England who are most at risk of poverty due to the crisis. The funding can be used to pay for core and frontline staff salaries, running costs/overheads, provision of services and goods to women, and other organisational costs. The deadline for applications is 5pm on the 19th May 2023. New £3.2 Million Fund Launched to Respond to the Cost of Living Crisis Facing Women (UK)
