The New Opportunities Fund Points to Remember Each distributor has its own aims and priorities which must be reflected in your project.
All distributors require that the public are able to benefit from their awards.
Obtain as much help and guidance as possible and remember that the distributors regional office can give essential advice. Since early 1995 the County Council has promoted the interests of Derbyshire people by working to maximise the number and value of awards from the National Lottery Fund. This is because the Council recognises that Lottery cash offers fresh opportunities to create new jobs and services at a time of financial constraint. This work has been directed by the Lottery Panel, presently Chaired by Councillor Kath Trueman. The Lottery Panel was instrumental in creating and allocating the Councils 'Treasure Chest', a fund to help Derbyshire organisations obtain their partnership funding.
