supported by the Big Lottery Fund
The Big Lottery Fund gives money to good causes. The Big Lottery Fund has invested £200m in a new trust to fund Big Local.
Money is set aside to help up to150 areas in England become better places to live, now and in the future. Fratton will get at least £1 million of Lottery money over 10 years. The Big Local trust will look after the money for all the areas, but local people will decide how it is spent.
Big Local wants local people to work together to decide what their area needs or what can be improved to make it a better place to live. BIG has given a small grant to Fratton to help you think about how you would like your area to change over the next ten years.
Fratton Community Centre
The Big Local consultation and the establishment of the Big Local Trust for Fratton, is being supported by the Fratton Federation. This is a network of local groups and agencies committed to supporting growth and development in the area.
Fratton Federation can be contacted through the Fratton Community Association, based at Fratton Community Centre:

We are running a scout group in St Mary’s Church,
are numbers are rising and space is always an issue and storage is a big problem ..
there is a pub across the road that is just rotting away and this could become a combined hall for all the youth groups in this area to meet and store there camping gear ect .. the down stairs would act as the main hall the upstairs could be small offices ,and the seller would make good storage camping gear ect ,, is this something you would consider as money for these groups is always hard to come bye and if we all chipped in as a joint venture this could be a main meeting place for all movements , Scouts ,Cubs ,Beavers , Brownies , guides ………….
