The Big Lottery Fund is committed to bringing real improvements to communities, and to the lives of people most in need.
To achieve this, we have seven values that underpin all our work:
fairness - putting equality and diversity at the heart of our work
accessibility - making it easier to access our funding and providing help to grant applicants and recipients
strategic focus - working in partnership and joining up with existing strategies, developing programmes that are focused on the outcomes and the difference they make for communities
involving people - involving local communities in our work and making sure the public know and care about our work
innovation - building evidence-based programmes, sharing what we learn and considering new ways of making grants
enabling - working with communities, partners and other funders to help achieve lasting change
additional to Government - ensuring our funding is distinct from Government funding and adds value.
