    £50 million BIG funding lifeline for the voluntary sector

    Posted: 01 Nov 2011 11:04 AM PDT


    A funding lifeline of at least &pound;50 million to support hundreds of vital voluntary and community sector (VCS) projects and services was announced yesterday by the Big Lottery Fund (BIG).

    The full impact on the VCS of cutbacks is still to come according to the NCVO, which estimates that voluntary and community groups will face a reduction in public funding of over &pound;900 million by 2016, losing a total of &pound;2.8 billion in that period.

    Demand for services is expected to increase and BIG is planning its &pound;50million cash injection in response to be awarded before the end of the financial year, bolstering the sector as it deals with the developing impact of funding cuts.

    Over the next few months, BIG will also be offering grants of up to &pound;10,000 to close to 1,000 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. Projects that are having a particularly significant impact will also receive an additional year's worth of funding to continue their project and carry out plans to make their projects more sustainable in the long term.
