Level 1 Awards are aimed at individuals or informal groups of people who have an idea which will change society for the better, and want help getting it off the ground. The money is to help with the running costs of the project.
At Level 1 you can apply for an award of between £500 and £5,000, (with an average award size of £2,000). These awards are for people who:
- Have an idea which will benefit their community
- Have thought about how they will run their project
- Have some evidence that there is a need for their project
- Will learn a new skill from carrying out their project
Above all, UnLtd wants to support people who have the vision, drive, passion and commitment to develop their project and whilst doing it, will have the opportunity to increase their skills and vision.
The award can be used for the things you need to start or develop your project: materials, equipment, renting rooms for meetings and so on.
If you feel your project meets these criteria and would like to apply, please go to
