The Cabinet Office has launched a consultation into new proposed policy directions for the Big Lottery Fund. Type here.
The consultation, which opened on Friday, is for the allocation of Big Lottery Funds in England, Isle of Man and UK-wide funding programmes. The proposals in the consultation document are in line with the government’s “big society” agenda, which re-emerged in the Conservative party’s 2015 manifesto.
In the foreword to the consultation document, Rob Wilson, minister for civil society, said: “Our intent while drafting these policy directions has been to respect and reflect the Fund’s own commitments and strategic priorities, as outlined in its framework, in combination with the government’s commitments and priorities for creating a bigger stronger society.
