The next deadline for the receipt of applications is 11th October 2010.

Revised application forms have been added to the quick links section. We have updated the names of the two funding streams. Community Chest is now called Small Grants, Strategic Fund becomes Major Grants. Please note that as well as the titles there have also been changes to some of the qualifying criteria and financial details required.

The Big Lottery Fund has teamed up with the BBC to launch the Community Wildlife Programme. The programme celebrates 2010, the International Year of Biodiversity, by allowing local groups and communities to get more involved with, enhance and protect their local wildlife. Grants of between £300 and £10,000 are being provided for one-year projects.
