The remainder of the 200m three-year fund, to be administered by the Big Lottery Fund when it takes over from the New Opportunities Fund and Community Fund later this year, will be ring-fenced and split between existing projects.
Focusing on youth inclusion, these awards will be given to extended schools, PE and school sports, the Get Real residential summer activity and the Positive Activities for Young People programmes.
Grants for charities will be allocated in three ways. Young people will be able to apply for project grants, singly or in groups. Grants will also be available to voluntary and community sector organisations, on their own or in partnership with statutory bodies. Larger grants of 1m for projects of "national significance" and that demonstrate "innovative" ways of delivering the green paper objectives will be given to voluntary organisations.
