Magic Little Grants gives local charities and community groups the chance to apply for a £500 grant to deliver projects across Great Britain that encourage people to be physically active.

The grants are made possible, thanks to an award of £550,000 from Postcode Community Trust, which is funded by players of People’s Postcode Lottery.

Applicants must either be in their first year of operation, or have an annual income of less than £250,000, and the funding can be used to launch new projects, support existing ones, or cover core costs associated with ongoing work.

Application is by a short online form and the deadline for applications is midnight on 30 November 2019.

Successful organisations can also receive free annual membership of Localgiving, worth almost £100, which offers access to wider online fundraising services.   See the full details and apply here.
