Big Lottery Fund

Big Lottery Fund is committed to providing a truly bilingual service to the public in Wales. On 23 September 2009 our new Welsh Language Scheme was approved by the Welsh Language Board which explains ‘that in providing services to the public in Wales and in the process of awarding grants the English and Welsh Languages should be treated on the basis of equality.’
