Big Assist Programme
Big Lottery Fund’s Big Assist Programme is open to voluntary organisations or social enterprises who mainly support other organisations.
In order to provide support to infrastructure organisations, we are looking for expert suppliers of training, consulting or e-learning to the voluntary sector.
There are three ways Big Assist can help organisations: through an assessment to identify needs and opportunities, vouchers may be awarded to fill those gaps; vouchers can be spent in the Marketplace on approved experts, who provide support in a range of areas and their peer to peer activity brings infrastructure organisations together.
The first awards through Big Assist were made in February this year. Two organisations in the south west were successful, Young Gloucestershire and South Somerset Association for Voluntary and Community Action.
Duration of Programme: Autumn 2012 to March 2015
