The Safer, Stronger Community Fund (SSCF) aims to enable England’s most deprived Local Authorities, in collaboration with the Local Strategic Partnership (LSP), to improve services, narrowing the gap between deprived areas and the rest of the country.
The Neighbourhood Renewal Fund is a targeted grant that can be spent in any way that will tackle deprivation in the most deprived neighbourhoods. The grant is intended as time-limited funding to facilitate the more effective, long-term targeting of mainstream resources. Particularly, but not necessarily exclusively, in relation to the floor targets, local targets identified in the Local Neighbourhood Renewal Strategy (LNRS) or broader Community Strategy and other deprivation-related Government targets, agreed by each of the LSPs.
The arrangements for carrying forward any SSCF have been negotiated by the NRU and the treasury. It was agreed that Local Authorities, in agreement with their fellow LSP members, could carry over a national average of 5% of their NRF for 2004/2005 to 2005/2006.
The Fund aims to promote economic and social cohesion by correcting the main regional imbalances and participating in the development and conversion of regions, while ensuring synergy with assistance from the other Structural Funds.
Big Lottery Fund is responsible for distributing half the money for good causes raised by the National Lottery, giving us a budget of about £630 million a year. Funding covers health, education, environment and charitable purposes. They are committed to bringing real improvements to communities and the lives of people most in need.
