uin	245936
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. A high proportion of charities are based in cities and towns, or have their main office in London, but deliver activity and services to a much wider area. 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.
