| If your site is ambitious enough to require funding for equipment, advertising or rent of premises, or even employment, there are several avenues that you can pursue. Occasionally, we come across time-limited offers of funding or assistance for community groups. Click here to “Get It While It’s Here”! By making grants to charities and community organisations, The Big Lottery Fund aims to help meet the needs of those at greatest disadvantage in society and to improve the quality of life in the community. Big Lottery Fund was created by merging the New Opportunities Fund and the Community Fund. It will hand out half the money for good causes from the National Lottery. This is an exciting opportunity for us to build on what both funds have achieved so far and to make it easier to apply for Lottery money and see where it goes. Funding has extended services to rural areas, supported projects for ethnic minority communities, and for homeless people. Over 200 projects have benefited disabled people through self-help, developing services or providing access to community facilities. Other work we have supported includes building and refurbishment of village halls and community centres, community transport schemes and playgroups. Awards have ranged from £500 to small local groups to nearly half a million for long term or large scale projects. The success rate for applications is now one in two. Applications between £500 and £5,000 are dealt with by the simpler Awards for All procedure. The address is the same. The Big Lottery Fund BLF has announced that it is to end grant making in England by its well established Community Fund regional committees and regional offices. Instead grant assessment and grant awards will normally come from one of two new operational centres in the Midlands and the North of England respectively. The existing regional committees will be abolished and replaced by new 'stakeholder advisory panels' and 'new regional programmes as appropriate'. The changes will take place over the next two years. However the existing Community Fund grants schemes in England will continue to run unchanged at least until April 2005. Messrs G Owen & Co understands that applications in the present form will continue to be accepted at least until that date. There will continue to be regional BLF offices. They will concentrate on PR and outreach and development though this may, in some cases, be supplemented by some grant making. Many questions are still to be answered. In particular, how will the grant application system work? The present pilot scheme in Scotland and the new BLF Young People's Fund which is closely modelled on it, centre round a close relationship between applicants and the fund. In particular, there is a very brief 'outline proposal form' which, if acceptable, leads when appropriate to a collaborative preparation of the full application. Will this approach continue, or will the whole application process be removed to the new centres once an outline application has been presented? Web Site Click on logo here: Awards for All: National Lottery Charities Board Grant programmes to help meet the needs of disadvantaged people in the communities will be set up and the application process. The Community Involvement and Poverty and Disadvantage grants programmes will be merged. There will be a more user-friendly application form and a full guide on the assessment process. National and regional funding priorities will also be included in the application pack.

 We need your help to keep the web site(s) @ Messrs G Owen & Co moving forward!It takes a lot of time, commitment and money to continue to update this site alone with over 191+ web pages needed material FREE for the asking! This excludes the work of material to download. You can help in three simple and easy ways. Firstly, become an annual sponsor of this site with a contribution of only £25.00 please pay this before downloading ANY material. To fail to make payment deprives future development for Voluntary Groups and penalises small organisations/groups please us to help you!Secondly, in addition, or alternative, you can sponsor a web page, (dedicated to your concern, with your logo depicted at the top left hand box, promoting your services or products linked to a host of search engines and therefore locatable not just by people who specifically visit this site, but by users of the Internet as a whole.Thirdly, please spread the word about this (and our other web sites), to every Organisation/Group staff person you have ever talked to as well as to other Voluntary Sector/non-for-profit bodies that need help! In recognition of your direct kind support and to reciprocate the same, acknowledgement of this will be accorded in our extensive publicity material and in Press Releases, plus Web site(s), (of which we have no less than eight), and web pages, (of which there are over 191+ on this site alone), which would provide a excellent high profile and good customer relations for yourselves alone. Added to this will undoubtedly be the excellent publicity/public relations this would create for your body, coupled with the interest it would continue to create on the part of other sources/companies involved, which, in the past has precipitated business for companies who have supported us and would potentially continue to be of value in terms of future business. It cannot be stressed enough that your kind contribution would not only be deeply appreciated but will go towards a very good and worthwhile cause once again, PLEASE...PLEASE SUPPORT!! Just the help with the provision of the some or all of the sponsorship would make a significant difference and valued contribution long remembered making this small contribution a longer term investment rather than an expense. We can but once more only hope that you will feel able to help in some way in relation to the above in support of this invaluable work, (targeted at new, small, and emerging voluntary/charitable organisations/groups), if only as a goodwill/customer relations exercise. The added benefit to yourselves of this proposed work with the aid of the resources sought would provide advertising for yourselves as well, which would positively promote your business. |
