Overview

The National Lottery Community Fund believe that working with people at every stage of the process helps communities to thrive.

However, they have learned that this approach sometimes leaves gaps for great ideas which don’t necessarily involve people at every stage of their development, but if implemented would contribute to putting people in the lead. So they have developed Great Ideas to support projects like this.

Projects that they could support under Great Ideas might include activity like testing digital approaches, developing user led approaches or developing community decision making.
