Launch of the BIG Innovation programme

Today sees the launch of Big Lottery Fund’s BIG Innovation programme.

The Big Lottery Fund is making £5 million available to support completely new ideas or approaches that haven’t been tried anywhere else in the UK. BIG is committed to bringing about real improvements to communities most in need but recognises that existing ways of meeting need do not always work and that some needs are new with no ways of addressing them.

Over the next three years, Big Lottery Fund will make grants of between £20,000 and £1 million to fund projects that test new ways of tackling emerging and existing social problems. The closing date for applications under round one of the programme is 2.00pm on 21st February 2011.
