New Lottery distributor to be called 'The Big Lottery Fund'
Howard Lake | 14 April 2004 | News
Secretary of State for Culture, Media and Sport, Tessa Jowell, has announced that the new merged Lottery distributor will be called “the Big Lottery Fund”.
The Big Lottery Fund will take over the functions of the New Opportunities Fund and the Community Fund. It will be responsible for distributing half of all lottery good cause money.
Secretary of State for Culture, Media and Sport, Tessa Jowell said: “We will call it the Big Lottery Fund because it will be by far the largest and most visible of the distributors. It will be a single point of contact involving the public in the big choices about how to award half of all lottery grants. It will also support communities in securing and spending Lottery grants for their benefit.”
