Big Lottery Fund
We have been extremely fortunate to receive funding the Big Lottery Fund Reaching Communities scheme and from the Awards for All scheme for our work. Reaching Communities is funding our AKU Information Centre project while Awards for All has funded our promotional activities.
The Big Lottery Fund is the largest distributor of Lottery money to good causes. The Big Lottery Fund (BIG) is responsible for delivering around half of all funds raised for good causes (14 pence of every pound spent on a Lottery Ticket) by The National Lottery.
Since June 2004, BIG has awarded over £3.6bn to projects supporting health, education, environment and charitable purposes. Most of their funding is awarded to voluntary and community sector organisations. They deliver funding throughout the UK, mostly through programmes tailored specifically to the needs of communities in England, Scotland, Wales or Northern Ireland as well as some programmes that cover the whole UK.
