The Community Libraries Network is delighted to announce that we have been awarded a grant from the National Lottery Awards for All programme.
This funding represents an exciting step forward for our mission to champion, connect, and support community‑managed libraries across the country. With this grant, we will be able to strengthen our network, provide new training and resources for volunteers, and continue advocating for the vital role community libraries play in local life.
We are incredibly grateful to the National Lottery players whose support makes programmes like Awards for All possible, and to the National Lottery Community Fund for recognising the value and potential of community-led library services.
In the months ahead, we look forward to sharing updates on how this funding is helping us empower libraries, grow our community, and create even more opportunities for people to engage with reading, learning, and one another.
