The Big Lottery Fund has launched a new £20 million programme that will fund charity-led partnerships supporting families with vulnerable children. The Improving Futures programme will provide funding for local voluntary sector organisations that work in partnership with public services to help UK families with children aged between five and 10 years old with housing, health, employment and other needs.

The scheme will fund up to 20 partnerships for three to five years, with up to £900,000 for each project. Applications which are regional or sub-regional will be preferred.

Deadline: 12 May 2011 for expressions of interest, 30 September 2011 for full applications
