The Big Lottery Fund is currently undertaking a consultation entitled 'Building capabilities for impact and legacy'. The consultation seeks to understand the support needs of voluntary sector organisations in the UK.

This week marks a major milestone for the 99% Campaign, a youth-led campaign working to challenge negative thinking about young people, with the launch of its new 99% Campaign blog. The blog provides space where young people can address issues entirely on their own terms.

The 99% Campaign Blog is an open platform for young people to talk about their views on policy while at the same time promoting a richer and more positive image of young people. Our team of young 99% journalists have already put a remarkable amount of energy and ideas into developing the blog.
