answer	answer is ministerial correction date of answer 25/04/2019 answer text <p>Applicants for funding from The National Lottery Community Fund (formally the Big Lottery Fund) often name their main office as their project delivery location.

Figures often don’t reflect the spread of activity and the overall offer of services and projects funded by The National Lottery Community Fund within a particular area. Therefore, when applying population figures to project delivery locations, amounts tend to be skewed towards larger towns and cities.</p><p> </p><table><tbody><tr><td><p><strong>Financial Year</strong></p></td><td><p><strong>Region <sup>1</sup></strong></p></td><td><p><strong>Funding Value</strong></p></td><td><p><strong>Per Capita</strong></p></td></tr><tr><td><p>2014/15</p></td><td><p>North East</p></td><td><p>£34,164,457</p></td><td><p>£12.92</p></td></tr><tr><td><p>2015/16</p></td><td><p>North East</p></td><td><p>£29,925,534</p></td><td><p>£11.32</p></td></tr><tr><td><p>2016/17</p></td><td><p>North East</p></td><td><p>£35,683,578</p></td><td><p>£13.49</p></td></tr><tr><td><p>2017/18</p></td><td><p>North East</p></td><td><p>£13,015,745</p></td><td><p>£4.92</p></td></tr><tr><td><p>2018/19</p></td><td><p>North East</p></td><td><p>£21,704,346</p></td><td><p>£8.21</p></td></tr><tr><td><p><strong>Totals</strong></p></td><td><p><strong>North East</strong></p></td><td><p><strong>£134,493,660</strong></p></td><td><p><strong>£50.86</strong></p></td></tr></tbody></table><p><strong> </strong></p><table><tbody><tr><td><p><strong>Financial Year</strong></p></td><td><p><strong>Region <sup>1</sup></strong></p></td><td><p><strong>Funding Value</strong></p></td><td><p><strong>Per Capita</strong></p></td></tr><tr><td><p>2014/15</p></td><td><p>North West</p></td><td><p>£108,859,409</p></td><td><p>£15.00</p></td></tr><tr><td><p>2015/16</p></td><td><p>North West</p></td><td><p>£56,324,292</p></td><td><p>£7.76</p></td></tr><tr><td><p>2016/17</p></td><td><p>North West</p></td><td><p>£77,765,696</p></td><td><p>£10.71</p></td></tr><tr><td><p>2017/18</p></td><td><p>North West</p></td><td><p>£46,957,812</p></td><td><p>£6.47</p></td></tr><tr><td><p>2018/19</p></td><td><p>North West</p></td><td><p>£52,413,410</p></td><td><p>£7.22</p></td></tr><tr><td><p><strong>Totals</strong></p></td><td><p><strong>North West</strong></p></td><td><p><strong>£342,320,619</strong></p></td><td><p><strong>£47.16</strong></p></td></tr></tbody></table><p> </p><p><sup>1 </sup>The Community Fund’s North West and North East regional offices’ remit differs from government office regions in that our North East office also serves Cumbria.
