New Village SOS fund to revive rural communities Does your village have a bright idea? Village SOS is an exciting new initiative from the Big Lottery Fund (BIG) and the BBC. It is searching for six UK villages with ideas for successful enterprises that will help revive their communities, create new jobs and improve the quality of life of local people. The final six projects will share up to £3 million. They aim to make three awards in England and one each in Wales, Scotland and Northern Ireland. TV Showcase The winners will have the opportunity to showcase their enterprises as part of a six-part primetime BBC One television show to be broadcast in winter 2010. The programmes will follow the new enterprises from start-up to trading. http://www.ruralgateway.org.uk/en/node/772 _________________ Ina Back to top annepan001 Neepster Joined: 27 Jan 2009 Posts: 125 Location: Midmar Posted: Sat Jun 13, 2009 12:10 pm    Post subject: Nice on Ina!  I've forwarded it to my sisters in England.   _________________ Be the change you want to see in the world Back to top Ina Neepster Joined: 03 Jul 2007 Posts: 4435 Location: Kincardineshire Posted: Sat Jun 13, 2009 4:29 pm    Post subject: Anne, I was thinking of you when I posted this...
