National Lottery Awards for All

Major Events Funding

Summary

Groups applying to the National Lottery Community Fund’s Awards for All programme in England can request funding for the following major events in 2023:

  • The Coronation of His Majesty the King on 6th May.
  • The Eurovision Song Contest in Liverpool from 9th to 13th May, and the UK’s role hosting it on the behalf of Ukraine.

This is in addition to the fund’s usual guidance, and all projects must:

  • Involve people and communities from the start.
  • Build on people’s strengths.
  • Be connected in their community.
