BIG Lottery: Reaching Communities Fund for Buildings
It has been reported that this fund, offering between £100,000 and £500,000 for large capital projects, has had poor take up and those applications that have been received have often failed to sufficiently demonstrate how they will achieve the BIG outcomes in the years after the build and have focused too much on the building stage of the project instead. BIG’s outcomes are:
• People having better chances in life, with better access to training and development to improve their life skills
• Stronger communities, with more active citizens working together to tackle their problems
• Improved rural and urban environments, which communities are better able to access and enjoy
• Healthier and more active people and communities
