25 March 2013
Today sees the opening of a 12 week consultation on proposed new policy directions for Big Lottery Fund in Wales.
The Big lottery Fund, which was set up in 2004, is the largest distributor of funding from the National Lottery to good causes. We aim to bring real improvements to communities and to the lives of people most in need. As an outcomes funder we are interested in what works and what makes a positive difference to the communities in which we deliver funding.
Now, more than ever, BIG needs to be responsive to the changing needs of the communities that we serve. We want to ensure that we intelligently address these needs and welcome the views of others on how we best achieve this.
This consultation, on behalf of the Welsh Government, invites views from a wide range of stakeholders including third, public and private sector organisations.
The consultation closes at noon on 17/06/2013
