Medway Council

Medway Lottery Community Fund

Small grants of up to £500 from Medway Council for charities and good causes that operate in Medway and directly benefit people there. The catch is that it is only for good causes already signed up to the Medway Lottery and actively selling tickets; the fund is topped up on a rolling basis from ticket sales. One grant per organisation per year, with decisions usually within 14 days.
