[cma-l] Big Lottery Fund BASIS consultation

[Jaqui Devereux]

Dear all

In the first round of BASIS, the BLF fund for infrastructure 
organisations, they chose not to fund (almost as a policy decision) 
sectoral bodies (e.g. the CMA, the homelessness umbrella group and 
others), putting most of the money through generic local agencies.  We 
have no problem with the latter receiving money, but need to make the 
case for sectoral bodies, as BLF does not seem to understand that local 
agencies are unlikely to have expertise in, for example, broadcasting 
policy!

If you can, please go to the BLF survey on where they should put their 
money in the next round - media, communications, people having a voice 
and umbrella groups!

Survey link is below.  We have already put in the CMA's views, but the 
more support the better...
