The National Lottery Community Fund: Developing Sustainability for Grantholders
Created: 31/03/2026
News/Events Category: Climate/Environment
The National Lottery is running Developing Sustainability residentials in the Highlands and Cumbernauld in May and June 2026.
The Developing Sustainability programme is facilitated by Social Enterprise Academy and will help your organisation to become more sustainable.
The programme will look at new ways to increase income, and create more change in your community to enable your environmental and nature-based aims. Working with others in social enterprises, development trusts, community land trusts, charities, and place-based organisations, they will introduce you to design thinking, solution circles, and action learning sets to help you work out a vision for the future and a new way forward.
Why attend?
The residential will give you lots of time to connect with people running similar organisations and projects. You will be working on your ideas and challenges during the programme. You will leave the residential with new ideas, new connections, and new energy to address the opportunities and the challenges you face. You will also be better able to support others in the community with their enterprise ideas. You will be better placed to access more income and funding from all sources.
Who should attend?
This suite of support is open to staff and board members of organisations funded by the National Lottery Community Fund. Specifically, it is aimed at organisations that have an environmental purpose OR are running a project with an environmental benefits
