**Funding is available for charities with ideas to help communities across Britain
recover from problems highlighted or exacerbated by the pandemic from the new £3
million Postcode Recovery Fund.**

Charities can apply for between £500,000 and £1 million in funding. Priority areas
for support include educational inequalities, homelessness, domestic violence, health
and wellbeing, poverty, social exclusion and isolation. Applications where there
are other clear benefits to the community will also be considered.

The funding will come from the [Postcode Dream Trust](https://www.postcodedreamtrust.org.uk/),
which was created to provide opportunities for charities to deliver their dream 
projects through collaboration. The Trust’s work has been realigned this year to
support Covid-19 recovery efforts.

said:

> “Charities across the country have been doing tremendous work to support the people
> who rely on them in times of need. Many of our supported charities have adapted
> to meet the enhanced needs of communities during the pandemic.
> “This fund will give charities an important opportunity to innovate in a way which
> will provide lasting benefit, thanks to the support of players of People’s Postcode
> Lottery.
> “We recognise that without additional intervention there is a real risk that the
> effects of the pandemic will be irreversible for the most vulnerable in our society.”

[Applications](https://www.postcodedreamtrust.org.uk/) for the Postcode Recovery
Fund can be made from today (1 October) until 30 October.

There is a three-stage application process:

 * Stage 1 invites charities to submit the high level details of their project and
   the problems they are trying to solve.
 * Stage 2 involves the shortlisted projects submitting a more detailed project 
   application.
 * Stage 3 will invite the best entries to give a formal presentation to an assessment
   panel.

The successful applications will be announced in March 2021.
