Postcode Neighbourhood Trust: North of England

Three-year funding is available for Registered Charities, Community Interest Companies, and Charitable Community Benefit Societies with an annual income between £10,000 and £1 million. 

The Funding offered is flexible, and we want to hear about the work your whole organisation does, rather than a specific project or costs you want to use the funding for.

You can apply for up to £50,000 in total over the three years, depending on your organisation’s income 

To be eligible for funding, your organisation's main aims and objectives must fit with one of the funding themes listed below:

• Enabling participation in the arts - Organisations whose core work helps people overcome specific barriers to accessing the arts. Applications must show how their activities directly remove, or support people to overcome, these barriers
• Preventing or reducing the impact of poverty - Organisations that support people at risk of or living in poverty. Applications must demonstrate specialist, ongoing support that directly addresses the causes or impacts of poverty
• Supporting marginalised groups and/or tackling inequality - Organisations whose primary purpose is to support specific marginalised communities to fully participate in social, economic, political or cultural life. Applicants must be able to demonstrate how their work helps overcome systemic barriers
• Improving mental health - Organisations that support people experiencing mental ill-health, rather than general mental wellbeing. Applicants must demonstrate ongoing, specific support for mental health conditions as a core purpose, rather than occasional or general social, wellbeing activities
  • Our focus will be on organisations that are actively supporting specific mental health issues, rather than general mental wellbeing activities.
