Consultation Launched into Distribution of Big Lottery Fund

Deadline: The consultation will close on 12 August 2016.

The government has launched a consultation welcoming views into how National Lottery money is distributed across England and the UK.

The government is seeking views on new directions for the Big Lottery Fund as part of an update of the guidelines governing how and why it gives out money.  The BLF operates independently of government in its individual funding decisions but is given a set of directions by ministers to ensure its overall strategy is broadly in line with government policy. The government has proposed the first new set of directions since 2012 and opened a consultation asking whether the proposals match the BLF’s remit. Proposals in the document include a direction that would requires the BLF to take into account “the desirability” of requiring partnership funding. It also calls for charities to take into account whether a project could deliver measureable outcomes. Money distributed by the BLF, the proposed directions say, should go towards issues such as:

  • Strengthening social mobility
  • Strengthening volunteering
  • Supporting communities with integration, health, education and environmental outcomes
  • Strengthening the capability and sustainability of civil society organisations
  • Supporting organisational infrastructure in the youth sector.

Views are particularly welcome from members of the public, customers, stakeholders and partners of the Big Lottery Fund. Once all responses have been considered the government will again consult the Fund on how best to amend the directions, before a final version will be issued in autumn 2016.

Carers Week: Events and Trips for H&F Carers

The countdown is on for Carers Week 2016!

This year’s focus is on building Carer Friendly Communities; communities which support carers to look after their family or friends well, while recognising that they are individuals with needs of their own.

To celebrate Carers Week we have a busy week of activities for Hammersmith and Fulham carers.

To book on to events and trips please call 020 8960 3033 / email info@carers-network.co.uk

Monday 6 June we kick off the week with a trip to Chiswick House at 1.30pm. We will be able to provide free entry to the house – then, after your visit you can enjoy the gardens.

Tuesday 7 June we’ll be exploring The Thames on a River Cruise. We have a number of tickets available which enable
you to hop on and off the boats as many times as you like during the day. We’ll be meeting at Westminster Pier at 11am
where you can collect your ticket and we’ll depart on the 11.30am boat to Greenwich.

Wednesday 8 June we’ll be celebrating Carers Network’s 25th birthday in style, at the Beethoven Centre, W10 4JL.
Come along to join in the fun from 1pm. There’ll be tea and cake and Carers Time Bank members will be demonstrating

The Houses of Parliament. The group will be meeting at Westminster tube station at 9.30am for a 10am tour.

Booking on to Carers Weeks Events
