National Lottery Awards for All offers funding to support what matters to people and communities. The programme is a partnership between the National Lottery Community Fund Scotland, sportscotland and Creative Scotland. It has three funding priorities: - bringing people together and building strong relationships in and across communities - improving the places and spaces that matter to communities - enabling more people to fulfil their potential by working to address issues at the earliest possible stage. If you are applying for a project involving the arts, they will prioritise projects that: engage people from areas of high deprivation; remove financial barriers to access creative activities; address rural isolation and encourage activity in rural areas; engage older people, people in care homes and carers; engage care leavers; support integration of refugees and asylum seekers. If you are applying for a project focused on sport, they will prioritise projects that: engage young people from our most deprived areas; engage girls and young women; engage disabled young people.

Funding to support communities to bring real improvements to the places they live and the wellbeing of those in need. They will fund organisations to deliver work that achieves the following outcomes: - Everyone in the community has the opportunity to influence and get involved in community led activity - People in the community are better connected and work together to improve their wellbeing.

Funding for people experiencing challenges in their lives to help them overcome this and become more resilient. They want to fund activity which means people: - are better able to identify solutions that enable them to take control over their lives and build resilience - are able to shape the projects and services they use to better meet their needs - have more access to support and opportunities to improve their lives.
