This strand will aim to fund organisations delivering across three or more of the six NL localities.

Funding for projects being delivered for two or less can still be applied for through LAF.
CVS organisations can apply for between £5k-15k.
Projects must run between 1st January 2026 and June 31st 2026.
Applications open 30th September 2025 and close 24th October 2025.
