Big Lottery Fund
Voices for Change Cymru is supported by the Big Lottery Fund (People and Place programme) for three years from May 2008
The Big Lottery Fund is responsible for giving out half the money for good causes raised by the National Lottery. They are committed to bringing real improvements to communities and the lives of people most in need.
To achieve this, they have seven values that underpin all their work:
- fairness - putting equality and diversity at the heart of their work
- accessibility - making it easier to access their funding and providing help to grant applicants and recipients
- strategic focus - working in partnership and joining up with existing strategies, developing programmes that are focused on the outcomes and the difference they make for communities
- involving people - involving local communities in their work and making sure the public know and care about our work
- innovation - building evidence-based programmes, sharing what they learn and considering new ways of making grants
- enabling - working with communities, partners and other funders to help achieve lasting change
- additional to Government - ensuring their funding is distinct from Government funding and adds value.
The People and Places programme in Wales aims to bring people together to make communities stronger and to improve rural and urban environments, making them better places to live.
