£50m funding to shelter VCS from funding cuts added 1.11.11
A funding lifeline of at least £50 million to support hundreds of Voluntary and Community Sector (VCS) projects and services has been announced by the Big Lottery Fund (BIG). As part of the package, BIG has made £17million available to fund charitable and community projects through its two main open grants programmes, Reaching Communities and Awards for All. The grants, which have been made to a range of projects from family support schemes to employment and debt advice services, are designed to help the sector meet increased demand for support from communities and individuals most in need. Over the next few months, BIG will also be offering grants of up to £10,000 to many existing BIG grant holders in the last 18 months of their projects to review the way they work and explore ways of becoming more sustainable. Activities could include developing a more effective operating model, partnership working, or finding new ways to deliver activities in future. For more details visit: http://bigblog.org.uk
