IMPORTANT NEWS - Have you heard about the changes to the Awards for All programme?
For the last ten years Awards for All has been running as a joint programme with the other three main distributors of Lottery money. From 1 April each distributor will now run its own small grants programme. As a result, the Big Lottery Fund has launched
The new scheme will be the Fund's biggest ever commitment to a small grant scheme supporting community projects, offering a more easily accessible programme with even quicker decision times.
Grants between £300 and £10,000 are available to grassroots groups in the community and voluntary sector, health bodies, schools and parish or town councils.
To find out if the programme is right for you please visit the Awards for All website: www.awardsforall.org.uk (external link) or call 0845 4 10 20 30 for an application pack.
