After its major consultation programme earlier this year the Big Lottery Fund has now published its forward strategy which contains some key aspects for third sector organisations -
- an extra £45m to help organisations through the recession
- at least 80% of funding will go to third sector groups (increase from 60-70%)
- increases in both the Reaching Communities and Basis programmes
