Is it true you’ve changes Life Transitions?

Yes, we have broadened the beneficiaries included in two of our outcomes.So the target beneficiaries for the ‘Becoming an adult ’outcome and the ‘Preventing the transition into debt’ outcome are now wider.

For updated guidance please look at page 7 of the Investing in Communities guidance here: http://www.biglotteryfund.org.uk/global-content/programmes/scotland/life-transitions

I heard there has also been focus shift for the Scottish Land Fund?

The outcomes for the Scottish Land Fund remain the same.

However, we can now accept referrals from groups looking to acquire small amounts of land that would be of benefit to their wider community, where their focus is broader than just economic development.

If you have any other questions about our funding, you can go to Ask BIG, where we give you answers to other commonly asked questions.

Alternatively, if you can’t find your answer at Ask BIG, you can email us at enquiries.scotland@biglotteryfund.org.uk
