The Big Lottery’s new strategic framework sets out what people can expect from them as a funder over the next six years. Their vision is that people should be in the lead in improving their lives and communities.
Their approach will focus on the skills, assets and energy that people can draw upon and the potential in their ideas.
The Big Lottery have laid out in their strategy that they feel that strong, vibrant communities can be built and renewed by the people living in them – making them ready for anything in the face of future opportunities and challenges.
Local groups and organisations with great ideas to make their communities even better places to live are now invited to apply for funding to turn their ideas into reality.

This was, for me, the moment where I pulled together a lot of ideas and impressions and started to move towards the work which eventually became our Civil Economy for Manchester work with CLES.
