Annex F

FAIR SHARE

  The fair share initiative consists of three strands:

NEW OPPORTUNITIES FUND FAIR SHARE TRUST

  A £50 million expendable endowment which will be delivered by the Community Foundation Network on behalf of the New Opportunities Fund during a 10 year programme.

NEW OPPORTUNITIES FAIR SHARE: TRANSFORMING YOUR SPACE

  A three year programme to support locally identified "liveability" projects to improve the local environment and amenities in fair share areas in England. A total of £38.75 million has been set aside for these projects.

COMMUNITY FUND FAIR SHARE

  £92 million from the Community Fund will be delivered through its current grants programmes and is targeted at designated fair share areas. During the first year of the programme 2002-03, more than £31 million has been spent in 37 areas targeted by the Community Fund. This represents 91% of the target set for the first year. With just over half of the 3-year programme left to run, the Community Fund is on target to spend up to the £92 million, set to be achieved by April 2005.
