The Local Initiative Fund (LIF) for 2015/16 is now open for bids. We have £137,666.25 in total available across the 12 districts. Deadline for applications is Thursday 2nd April 2015 at 5pm. The Local Initiative Fund scheme, now in its fifth year, is a more targeted way of providing medium-sized grants to voluntary, community and faith sector groups that carry out important work to help communities across Lancashire. Third sector groups/organisations in Lancashire can apply for grants from £1,000 to £5,000 to support three of the council's priorities which are: improved outcomes for families (total family); skills and employment; providing activities and programmes for young people aged 12 - 19 (up to 25 for young people with learning difficulties or disabilities). A decision on the outcome of your application will be made in June 2015. If you need more information about the Local Initiative Fund scheme and other grants available, please contact the third sector grants team on:
