Back in October we pointed out <\/a>that the Rayleigh and Wickford Constituency did the worst in the whole of the UK for getting lottery funding from the national lottery. We came a pathetic 650th.<\/p>\n

The 5 constituencies that have received the most money by October this year were all in London:<\/p>\n

1st Poplar and Limehouse ?34,450,465
\n2nd Islington South and Finsbury ?15,102,479
\n3rd Enfield North ?10,920,878
\n4th Cities of London and Westminster ?8,020,607
\n5th Brentford and Isleworth ?7,208,555<\/p>\n

Rochford and Southend East did pretty well : ?1,035,977<\/p>\n

But look at the bottom 5:<\/p>\n

646th Reigate ?18,690
\n647th Surrey Heath ?15,051
\n648th Kingswood ?10,116
\n649th Gosport ?9,792
\n650th Rayleigh and Wickford ?3,488<\/p>\n

That?s right. Rayleigh and Wickford constituency came bottom of the whole UK. Even the place that comes 649th got about three times as us. That ?3,348 is roughly 5p per person per year. <\/p>\n

This must have made dispiriting reading for the constituency MP Mark Francois. But credit where its due, he’s now helping with an event to help local organisations apply for grants. Full details are on the District coucil website<\/a><\/p>\n

<\/p>\n

On Friday 13th January 2012, Mark Francois will be opening a Big Lottery Fund hosted briefing event for representatives of organisations including not-for-profit or community groups, schools, and parish\/town councils based in Rayleigh, Wickford and the surrounding area who are looking for funding. The briefing, which will be held in Wickford, will also be attended by Big Lottery Fund?s Chief Executive Peter Wanless and representatives from local support organisations including RRAVS
\n_
\nRepresentatives from the all of main Lottery distributors Arts Council, Big Lottery Fund, Heritage Lottery Fund and Sport England will be giving an overview of the funding available from their individual organisations in the afternoon, there will be an opportunity to discuss any proposed projects in workshops and\/or brief one-to-one sessions with representatives from the lottery distributors. There will also be a workshop focusing on Awards for All. Groups are able to opt for the afternoon session only if they wish.
\n_
