Local Lottery Projects
Sleaford and North Hykeham MP, Stephen Phillips today experienced first-hand the results of over £1.4 million in good cause funding from the Big Lottery Fund since 2004. Stephen visited two projects in his constituency: Silk Willoughby Parish Pond and Community Lincs and was able to see in person the positive impact that Lottery grants have made on the voluntary and community sector in the constituency. Silk Willoughby Parish Council received £2,983 from the Awards for All programme in January 2010 to clean up the village pond with the aim of improving the local environment for the community. Community Lincs received £488,047 from the BASIS programme in June 2009 to aid in delivering a rural partnership that will offer outreach facilities, training and marketing advice to organisations in rural communities across Lincolnshire. Stephen said: "I very much enjoyed visiting these two very different projects and seeing firsthand the positive difference they are making in our community. I've no doubt that there must be other voluntary groups in the constituency that would also benefit from applying for Lottery funding and I would encourage them to do so."
