What can the fund be used for?
The Wyre Community Lottery Central Fund aims to provide the opportunity for organisations signed up as a good cause partner to bid for additional funds. It can fund projects which:
- Provide support to those who need it, including our most vulnerable and financially disadvantaged residents and our ageing population
- Improve feelings of safety and work with partners to tackle crime and anti-social behaviour
- Provide opportunities for people to lead healthy and active lifestyles
- Improve the quality of life for individuals by tackling loneliness and isolation
- Build pride in our borough by ensuring our town centres and neighbourhoods are clean, attractive and well looked after
- Work with partners to reduce the risk of flooding to homes and businesses across Wyre
- Provide high quality parks and open spaces for everyone to enjoy
Assessment criteria include community involvement, improving quality of life, demonstrating need, and project impact.
This funding cannot be used for projects not benefiting Wyre, those promoting religious or political beliefs, profit-distributing organisations, private sports clubs with restricted membership, and school core provision.
