People’s Postcode Lottery Launches Dream Fund 2016

Posted on August 21, 2015

The People’s Postcode Lottery has launched the 2016 Dream Fund. The Dream Fund gives organisations the chance to deliver the project they have always dreamed of, but never had the opportunity to bring to life.

The Dream Fund will offer £1,000,000 over two years and there will be two or three awards in total. The Dream Fund encourages not-for-profit organisations to collaborate to deliver a more effective project.
All applications must therefore come from at least two organisations that have joined forces to deliver an innovative project. The lead organisation must be a registered charity. The other partners can be charities, voluntary groups, community interest companies or other not-for-profit organisations.

Projects must address one or more of the following themes: sports; community development; environmental protection; health; human rights; and, prevention of poverty.

The closing date for stage 1 applications is 5.30pm on 22nd September 2015. Those successful at this stage will be invited to submit a stage 2 application by 30th October 2015.

For further information please visit the Postcode Dream Trust website or contact CVS Falkirk and speak with Tariq or Claire for funding and capacity building support by tel: 01324 692000, or email: info@cvsfalkirk.org.uk
