“I wanted to be part of a project that celebrated the positive in the community. I got the opportunity to increase my skills and knowledge by working on the project, and I also got to know others in the community, and make new friends. My confidence grew because my ideas were used.”
Local resident, Brent
CFN is responsible for using its local giving expertise to ensure the effective implementation of the £50 million UK-wide Fair Share Trust (FST) programme, funded by the Big Lottery Fund.
The Fair Share Trust’s aim is to build community skills, confidence, experience and networks to improve local neighbourhoods and leave a positive lasting legacy in areas that have not received their fair share of Lottery funding in the past. They help local communities to make a difference, by putting regeneration into their hands. The network of 29 local delivery partners work with communities to help change lives for the better in 80 neighbourhoods across the UK.
Working in collaboration with community foundations and other partners across the UK, to date more than £42m has been committed to local projects.
