Reaching Communities Programme Reopens

 The Big Lottery Reaching Communities programme funds projects that help people and communities who are most in need, and can really make a difference. Projects can be new or existing activities, or be the core work of your organisation.

It funds projects that respond to needs identified by communities, and those that fund projects that help those most in need, including those people or groups who are hard to reach.
They want to encourage the following changes to communities as a result of our funding:

• People having better chances in life, including being able to get better access to training and development to improve their life skills.
• Strong communities, with more active citizens, working together to tackle their problems.
• Improved rural and urban environments, which communities are better able to access and enjoy
• Healthier and more active people and communities.

The Reaching Communities budget will be at least £100 million each year until 2013.
