The Directory of Social Change (DSC) is running a series of courses around England
for those who need to master the ‘outcomes’ approach that is required of applicants
to the Big Lottery Fund’s ‘open access’ programmes.
The one-day course will be led
by Luke FitzHerbert, the founding editor of the DSC’s Guide to the Major Trusts 
and author of other funding guides. It will cover the new terminology in use by 
the Big Lottery Fund, details of the new ‘open access’ programmes, the new ‘outline
proposal’ approach, and sample application forms for practice drafting.

Delegates will get to undertake an exercise using real research evidence, and there
will be a review of the uses of ‘outcomes’ in other applications. To get the most
out of the day, delegates will be encouraged to come prepared to draft ‘outcomes’
paragraphs for their own likely applications.

The course will not cover ‘closed’ Big Lottery Fund programmes of the kind inherited
from the New Opportunities Fund.

The course will be run in London, Manchester, Crawley, Birmingham, and Leeds, with
the first London course taking place on 16 February 2005.

The course costs £130, £175 or £320, depending on whether the delegate comes from
a small or large voluntary or community organisation, or a commercial or statutory
organisation.
