Projects from all across the UK are invited to apply for this funding.

Executive director at The Prince’s Countryside Fund Keith Halstead said: “Rural Community Resilience means different things to different communities, but the projects we are looking to support will allow the community to survive and thrive, especially when facing a situation which affects everyday rural life.
"Thank you to players of People’s Postcode Lottery for their continuing support of The Prince’s Countryside Fund.”
Established in 2010 by HRH The Prince of Wales, the PCF aims to support thriving rural communities with farming at their heart.
To date, the Fund has awarded over £10 million to more than 350 projects.
During the Covid-19 pandemic the PCF awarded over £120,000 of grants to 62 rural communities who were working to tackle the impact of the pandemic in their local community.
This grants round is aimed at projects who are looking to build on this amazing work. To view previously funded projects, visit www.princescountrysidefund.org.uk/yourstories.
Applications close on November 3 at midday, but if a large number of eligible applications are received the Fund reserves the right to close the round earlier so projects are advised to apply early.
