Issue 116 | May 2008 Districts: Lots of News from the Districts so no Case Study this month... News: The last Big Lottery Fund Changing Spaces programme announced... Funding information for voluntary and community groups in South Yorkshire. Produced by SYFAB www.syfab.org.uk myplace in the Big Lottery Fund The Big Lottery Fund is delivering myplace on behalf of the Department for Children, Schools and Families (DCSF). myplace will deliver £190 million of Government funding over the next three years through grants of between £1 million and £5 million for developing youth facilities. Projects need to meet all four outcomes and demonstrate evidence of the real participation of young people in all aspects of the project: • More young people, parents and communities feeling that young people have attractive and safe places to go in their leisure time where they can get involved in a wide range of exciting activities • More young people, particularly the most disadvantaged, participating in positive leisure time activities that support their personal and social development • More young people having access to information, advice and support services from within places they feel comfortable • Stronger partnership working between local authorities and their third, private and public sector partners to plan, deliver and operate financially sustainable facilities with and for young people. All projects will need to demonstrate genuine cross-sector partnership between public sector bodies and third and/or private sector organisations. Bids will however need to be led by a single organisation which can come from any sector. Third sector led projects can access a £50,000 revenue grant to be used for development work to secure the long term viability of the project. There will be two funding rounds over the next three years. The first round will commit up to £160 million, of which up to £50 million will be available through a fast track route. The fast track will enable early investment in projects that are already well developed and therefore able to submit robust business and capital plans with their application. This will enable final investment decisions to be made on the basis of the single application. The standard route will provide applicants with an in-principle investment decision and then provide capacity building support to help develop detailed delivery plans. There will be a briefing meeting in Huddersfield on 13 May to give more information on the programme. Contact the Big Lottery Fund Yorkshire office (tel: 0113 224 5301, email: enquiries.yh@biglotteryfund.org.uk) to book a place. Deadline: Application and guidance materials available from 6 May 2008. The deadline for fast track applications is 29 July 2008; or 30 September 2008 for the standard route. A second funding round is due to open in early 2009.
