Crisis celebrates Big Lottery Funding
Crisis is celebrating being awarded a grant of almost half a million pounds by the Big Lottery Fund to support its learning and skills activities in Crisis Skylight London centre.
The multi-million pound funding is from BIG's flagship programme, Reaching Communities, which supports work with some of the most vulnerable and socially excluded groups and has awarded £41 million to 143 organisations.
Crisis Chief Executive, Leslie Morphy, said: "We are delighted to have won this funding from the Big Lottery Fund, which will help us continue to transform lives at Crisis Skylight, our award winning and accredited education, training and employment centres for homeless and vulnerably housed people."
Sanjay Dighe, Chair of the Big Lottery Fund's England Committee, said: "The impact of today's £41 million good cause funding will be felt in energetic and worthwhile community projects across the country. The range of community action it represents across the 143 organisations is truly inspiring."
