Summary of the programme
This programme is closed for applications.
The Big Lottery Fund is delivering the Community Assets programme on behalf of the Office of the Third Sector. This is not Lottery funding.
Information regarding the schemes to be awarded funding can be found at Community Assets awards.
Community Assets aims to empower communities by offering grants for refurbishment of local authority buildings in England, to enable their transfer to the third sector.
Community Assets will bring about the following outcomes:
- Local third sector organisations have greater security and independence, and are better able to meet the needs of the communities they serve.
- Communities have more access to better facilities that respond to their needs.
- There is more effective partnership working between local authorities and the third sector.
