The Big Lottery Fund (BIG) is looking to fund projects in Hastings and Rother. BIG has two main open programmes that you can apply to at any time:
· Awards for All has grants of £300 to £10,000 on offer. The money has to be spent within twelve months of receiving the grant.
· Reaching Communities makes grants of £10,000 to £500,000 for revenue projects and/or up to £50,000 towards smaller capital projects.
These grants can be spent over a period of up to five years. Reaching Communities buildings provides funding for larger capital projects with grants of between £100,000 and £500,000.
While Awards for All tends to fund new activities or projects, Reaching Communities can fund both new and existing activities and will even fund your organisation’s core work.
For more information about each of the programmes and how to apply please call the BIG advice line on 0845 4 10 20 30 or visit
