Summary of the programme
The Parks for People programme is a joint initiative between the Big Lottery Fund and the Heritage Lottery Fund. BIG remains committed to working in partnership with HLF. We have allocated up to £5million from our grants budget in each of the next two financial years, from 2011/12 – 2012/13, to provide further funding for Parks in England. This will be added to the £20m that HLF are committing each year for parks across the UK.
Our vision is that everyone should have access to a local park for enjoyment and recreation. Parks for People builds on the two Lottery Funds' shared commitment to bring real improvements to local environments by making a lasting impact on the lives of local people and the places where they live.
The Heritage Lottery Fund will continue to run the Parks for People programme on behalf of both HLF and BIG, and are currently accepting applications for the programme. For further information on the programme and details of how to apply, please visit the Heritage Lottery Fund
