We have actually been over this a few times in other threads but to explain a little more -

Funding is available for ANY community group or organisation, all you have to do is apply. Funding is rarely rejected and if it is it's usually because the forms have been filled in wrong. Hyndburn has received very little funding in comparison to other areas of the country - this is NOT because the lottery is rejecting applications that come from Hyndburn, it is because groups from Hyndburn are not applying for the money.
