======================
Reaching Communities (England)
The Big Lottery Fund (BIG) has announced that it is accepting 
applications to their Reaching Communities Programme. Reaching 
Communities provides grants of 10,000 - £500,000 for projects that help 
people and communities who are most in need, and can really make a 
difference. BIG wants to fund projects that respond to needs identified 
by communities and those that fund projects that help those most in need 
including those people or groups who are hard to reach.

Organisations that can apply for funding include; registered charities; 
voluntary or community groups; statutory bodies, (including schools); 
charitable or not-for-profit companies.  The budget for Reaching 
Communities will be at least £100 million each year until 2013.

The type of projects supported in the past have included a learning bus 
to reach hard to reach learners in Nottingham and a project that teaches 
young people in Hackney, Islington and the City of London to play a 
range of musical instruments.

Applications can be made at any time. For more information, visit:
