  1. Building Better Opportunities • The National Lottery Community Fund • 18 September 2019

  2. The National Lottery Community Fund The National Lottery Community Fund is the largest community funder in the UK. Last year we distributed £700m to 12,000 projects, using money raised by National Lottery players. Most of our grants go to local charities, often run by volunteers – and whether the grant is for £500, or £5m, our funding is used by communities across the UK to support amazing projects led by local people.

Building Better Opportunties -The context • Unemployed people often experience multiple disadvantages • Increasing unemployment hidden from the system • Fragmented support • Most support focussed on younger-people • Lack of one-on-one focus in large initiatives • Payment by results – can encourages adverse behaviour
