Summary of the programme
On 5 November 2008 Big Lottery Fund announced details of the Building Change Trust - a multi-million pound investment to help develop and shape the future of Northern Ireland’s community and voluntary sector.
The Building Change Trust will invest £10 million over the next 10 years to help community groups and larger voluntary organisations adapt and develop new ways of working.
The Trust will not make grants in a traditional way, but will look at what resources already exist in communities and identify ways to support communities to develop and change.
The following organisations are responsible for the delivery and operation of the Building Change Trust:
- The Community Foundation for NI
- Community Evaluation NI
- Rural Community Network
- Volunteer Development Agency
- Business in the Community NI
The Trust will identify detailed programmes that promote volunteering, develop the local community infrastructure and leadership skills in rural and urban communities. Part of the Trust will be invested to offer loans and advice to community and voluntary organisations.
The Community Foundation will take responsibility for the day to day running of the Building Change Trust.
