This means 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.</p><p> </p><p>We have included figures for the last five years as this better reflects the investment in the area over this time frame.</p><p> </p><p><strong>Mansfield Constituency</strong></p><p> </p><table><tbody><tr><td><p>Financial Year</p></td><td><p>Total funding allocated</p></td></tr><tr><td><p>2014-15</p></td><td><p>£447,825</p></td></tr><tr><td><p>2015-16</p></td><td><p>£2,332,098</p></td></tr><tr><td><p>2016-17</p></td><td><p>£4,794,236*</p></td></tr><tr><td><p>2017-18</p></td><td><p>£160,237</p></td></tr><tr><td><p>2018-19</p></td><td><p>£446,709</p></td></tr></tbody></table><p> </p><p><strong> </strong></p><p>*2016-17 also includes £4,524,800 from Building Better Opportunities which is a matched fund between the National Lottery Community Fund and the European Social Fund.</p><p><strong> </strong></p><p> </p>
