Financial support available for accessible and community focused projects
The Manx Lottery Trust has announced a new theme for those looking for funding for projects.
‘Space to Thrive’ has been chosen to focus on ideas which bring people together, improve community spaces, and help individuals reach their potential by providing early-stage support.
The grants programme takes applications from local authorities, charities and voluntary groups - it has also previously helped Motiv8, Hospice Isle of Man and The Children's Centre.
Chair of the trust Stephen Turner says all applications for future schemes must have plans for environmental sustainability included.
To be considered for an award grant, applications must be submitted by Friday 28 February 2025 and funding will be available from £2,501 to £25,000 for projects running over 12 months.
More information on criteria and the application process can be found on the Manx Lottery Trust website.
