The Big Lottery Fund...

The Big Lottery Fund is actively promoting the Awards for All fund in the Eastern Region as they would like to increase the number of applications they receive from groups based in Suffolk.

Awards for All is a Lottery Programme that supports small community projects and gives grants of between £300 - £10,000 to:

- Build stronger communities
- Give people better chances in life
- Improve the environment, and
- Encourage people to be healthier and more active.

The funding can be used for a wide variety of projects or activities including:
- Equipment hire or purchase
- Information technology
- Building and refurbishment work (project to cost less than £25,000)
- Sessional workers
- Training
- Volunteer expenses
- Transport costs

Unfortunately, small projects based mainly on sports, arts or heritage are no longer able to apply to this fund and information on alternative small grants can be found on the Lottery website.

Whatever your circumstances we are here to help.
