[cma-l] Big Lottery Publishes Long-Term Strategy

[CMA-L]

The Big Lottery Fund has revealed its plans up to 2015 following the
results of its biggest ever public consultation.

BIG has published two documents in the aftermath of their major
consultation held from November 2008 to February 2009, which saw 3,500
responses to an online survey.

"Big Thinking – our Strategic Framework to 2015" and "What You Told
Us" have been released simultaneously to allow readers to see how the
responses to the consultation informed the new strategy.

"Big Thinking" outlines the principles which will inform BIG’s
approach to funding in the UK for the next six years. It underpins
BIG’s mission and vision to deliver real help to communities and
people, and is based around three crucial UK-wide themes – community
learning and creating opportunity, promoting community cohesion and
safety, and promoting well-being.

Future funding programmes will be structured on the new framework and
will aim to fulfil BIG’s ambition to be an efficient and responsive
funder.

"What You Told Us" is an analysis to the responses to the consultation
both from online surveys and regional and national meetings. The
document informs the Strategic Framework to 2015 and demonstrates the
transparency of the consultation process.
