Accelerating Ideas pilot Open for ideas until summer 2015. However, if there is a significantly higher level of interest than expected, it may close at short notice.
The Accelerating Ideas pilot is a completely new funding approach from the Big Lottery Fund. It aims to get great ideas and practice more widely shared and adopted across the UK. The pilot is initially calling on ideas and projects focusing on the opportunities and challenges presented by an ageing population in the UK. Instead of looking at application forms, they will start conversations to see which ideas have the potential to:
Address some of the most complex and challenging social issues;
Adopt and adapt tried and tested approaches across borders, issues and communities;
Increase the impact of projects funded by Big Lottery Fund or other funders;
Involve significant roles for Voluntary, Community or Social Enterprise Organisations and for beneficiary communities.
However one of the things they are testing is the demand and appetite for the programme so.
