The
new lottery distribution group, formed by the merger of the Community Fund
and New Opportunities Fund, will be called the Big Lottery Fund.
Stephen Dunmore, Chief Executive of the new organisation, which will be
responsible for distributing over half of all national Lottery funding,
welcomed the announcement by the Secretary of State Tessa Jowell of the
name.
He said: "Today's announcement is an important step in the creation of the
new distributor. The message is simple: the Big Lottery Fund which will
distribute half of all National Lottery funding will play a key role in
tackling disadvantage and improving the quality of life in communities.
"I believe the name will help re-connect the public with the national lottery.
This is an exciting time for the new distributor and plans are being developed
for the Big Lottery Fund to pioneer innovative methods of public involvement
in the way lottery money is distributed."
