Big Lottery Fund

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 for Civil Society. This is not Lottery funding.

You can find information about the funded schemes at Community Assets awards.

Community Assets will empower communities by offering grants for refurbishing local authority buildings in England to allow their ownership to be transferred 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.
