James Duddridge, Member of Parliament for Rochford and Southend East, has been provided with an information pack from Big Lottery Fund and included within this pack are details of current funding programmes and the funding programmes that will be closing in 2010 and 2011.
Funding programmes include Awards for All, Reaching Communities, Community Wildlife, Youth In Focus, Changing Spaces: Community Spaces, Heroes Return 2, Forces in Mind and Big Local Trust.
James said
“Many organisations that I visit within the constituency have applied for, and been successful in, obtaining funding from the Big Lottery Fund. However there are many organisations and individuals that may not be aware of the funds available or indeed how to apply for them.
I am hopeful that with raising awareness of the funding programmes more constituents and organisations are able to benefit from these schemes, whilst funds are available.”
