The Big Lottery Fund has begun a public consultation on how it should allocate its
funding, expected to be over £2 billion, from 2009 to 2015.

Individuals and organisations across the UK are invited to share their thoughts 
via the Fund’s consultation website.

The consultation includes a series of national, regional and local face-to-face 
events as well as the online channels.

Peter Wanless, UK CEO of the [Big Lottery Fund](http://www.biglotteryfund.org.uk),
said: “We listened and learnt from our last consultation by introducing significant
improvements to how we fund, pioneering full cost recovery and extending the length
of our typical awards up to five years, offering community organisations far greater
opportunity to plan for a sustainable future. Now is the time for everyone to get
involved in what happens next.”
