BIG: Vital frontline advice services across England will receive a multi-million pound support package as the Big Lottery Fund (BIG) recently launched the Advice Services Transition Fund. The Cabinet Office is supporting BIG’s programme by contributing half of the funding.
This programme builds on BIG’s historic role in funding the advice sector and comes as a direct & timely response to the challenging circumstances advice providers and those dependent on their services are facing. The AST Fund hopes to be able to fund around 300 projects across England. The deadline for application submission will be 12 noon on 28 January 2013.
The Government has also published a review on the not-for-profit social welfare advice sector in England.
