National Lottery Project Grants

Project Grants is open to anyone who needs funding for an arts, museums or libraries project that shows public benefit. We’ve updated our guidance so we can support more individuals and creative practitioners during Covid-19.

Guidance

We’re making sure individual applicants are well supported and, for now, you won’t need to provide 10% match funding to be eligible. We’re also more likely to fund activity that gives you the time to think, plan and test new ideas and we’re funding a wider range of museum and library activity. Find out about these changes and more on our website.

What’s changed?

If your question isn’t covered by any of the above, check out our FAQs before you get in touch. We may already have an answer for you! Read the FAQs >

New Social Enterprise: ‘Home(less) made’

New Social Enterprise, ‘Home(less) made’ is an initiative from the Barons Court Project, supporting our guests who are homeless or living with mental health conditions to enable them to live the life they deserve.We run a weekly art group that encourages them to express their emotions into beautiful creations.

There are three lovely cards designed by one of our super talented guests, Guan and we are now selling these to raise funds for the Barons Court Project and the artist, who is homeless. We will have more designs coming soon and from another guest.

We really hope that this will take off and not only help BCP but also the artists. You can find out more on our website at www.homelessmade.co.uk and also promote our work on Twitter – @homelessmade, Facebook – Home_less Made and Instagram – homelessmade_uk. Many thanks.
