‘Space to Thrive’ has been announced as the theme for Manx Lottery Trust’s 2024 Thematic Funding and applications are now open.
The Trustees of Manx Lottery Trust are inviting applications from local charities, not-for-profits, and community organisations managing new or existing projects aimed at supporting communities to thrive.
This year’s thematic funding will focus on projects that bring people together, improve key community spaces, and help individuals reach their potential by providing early-stage support.
Thematic Funding Projects
Projects should meet three key aims: creating accessible and welcoming spaces for people to meet; encouraging active community involvement to make a difference in areas important to them; and adopting a preventative approach to improve health and wellbeing within the community.
Applicants are also encouraged to consider their environmental impact when designing their projects, prioritising sustainability, and using environmentally friendly materials wherever possible. Funding could cover, but is not limited to:
- Community Hub Renovation
- Solar Panel Installation
- Inclusive Activities and Mentorship for Young People
- Insulation and Energy Efficiency for Community Buildings
- Mental Health and Wellbeing Initiatives
- Community Spaces for Social Engagement
To be considered for a Thematic Funding Award, applications must be submitted by February 28, 2025.
Grants will be available from between £2,501 and £25,000, with projects running over 12 months.
More information on criteria and the application process can be found on the Manx Lottery Trust website.
