   at promoting human rights, combating discrimination and preventing poverty
 * [Postcode Community Trust](http://www.postcodecommunitytrust.org.uk) supports
   initiatives working to improve the health and wellbeing of communities, including
   arts and physical recreation projects, as well as those with a focus on reducing

Sports groups for military veterans, counselling support services for young carers
and accessible play parks are all examples of the over 1,600 projects that were 
successful in their application and received funding in 2018. Short funding guides

project.

Laura Chow, Head of Charities at [People’s Postcode Lottery](https://www.postcodelottery.co.uk/),
said,

> “It’s not just players who win with People’s Postcode Lottery – over £3 million
> in grants will have a tremendous impact on the work that grass-roots community
> groups are doing all over Great Britain. With three trusts to apply to, a huge
> array of projects can benefit and I would urge all groups to take a look at the
> funding guides, see where their project best fits and apply.”
