Big Lottery Family Learning

(National Lottery)

We want to support families who face barriers to learning or who are not confident helping their children to learn. We are particularly interested in hearing from projects where learning is not based on getting a qualification and those that will help families who have not been involved in learning together before. We are looking for imaginative projects that meet local needs and remove the practical barriers to learning, for example, by providing travel costs, additional support for disabled participants, or childcare.
