Gareth Williams, Funding Manager for the National Lottery Awards for All said: “Competition for funding through the programme is greater than ever and it is always difficult to make decisions on which of the many excellent projects we should fund. We are increasingly looking for the widest benefit of our funding across communities. We are looking for projects which have really engaged with the whole of their community in deciding what they want to see happen to make where they live a better place.”
