Local villages have one month to apply for a share of £5 million
Lottery cash to create community enterprises and revitalise their area.
Projects have until 5pm on Thursday 20th October to apply for up to
£30,000 from the Big Lottery Fund’s Village SOS Active competition.
Anyone living in a rural village of less than 3,000 people, with an
enterprising idea can register to be in with a chance of a grant.
All applicants have to do is outline the idea in on online form and
the best ideas will be chosen to complete a full application for a grant
of up to £30,000.
The Village SOS television series broadcast over the last few weeks,
followed the journey of six UK villages as they used a Big Lottery Fund
grant to set up a new community business, including a Peak District community that started up a new local food project and cookery school.
