Summary of the programme
This programme is now closed to applications
The Big Lottery Fund is working in partnership with the Welsh Assembly Government to deliver a Community Asset Transfer Programme (CAT). This programme will provide both capital and revenue funding to support the transfer of assets, such as land and buildings, from public sector organisations to community ownership.
We want to help communities become stronger and more sustainable by assisting them to obtain and develop assets such as land or buildings. We will do this by developing assets transferred from public sector bodies to enterprising organisations that actively involve and benefit the communities they serve. They must work towards improving the services and/or facilities for their community, be able to demonstrate that their proposals are sustainable in the long-term and take into account the environmental, social and economic impacts of their work.
Through the CAT programme, we will invest up to £13 million in communities to help them transfer, develop, manage, and sustain assets to improve their livelihoods and neighbourhoods.
We recognise that there will be interest from a range of potential projects in accessing this funding, and that they will be at varying stages of development. Therefore, the CAT programme is being delivered via three competitive funding rounds.
Round 1: Fast-track – CLOSED
Round 1 comprised of a Fast track round, introduced to enable rapid investment in projects that were fully developed and ready to start immediately. The fast track round is now closed and 5 projects were awarded funding.
Round 2 - CLOSED
Round 2 is now closed for applications
Round 3 - CLOSED
This funding will be delivered via a 2 stage process. Organisations are required to complete a stage one application but will only be required to develop and submit a stage two application (a project plan and capital project delivery plan) if they are successful at stage one.
