Case study: Working in Place: Building Change Trust

This is a case study of Building Change Trust, written as companion to IVAR’s research Working in Place.

The Building Change Trust was established by the Big Lottery Fund with a National Lottery grant of £10million as an investment for community capacity building and promotion of the voluntary and community sector in Northern Ireland.

This case study is based on interviews with staff and trustees at Building Change Trust, Big Lottery Fund NI and Northern Ireland Council for Voluntary Action (NICVA) as well as review of Lloyds TSB Foundation for Scotland and East Ayrshire Council, as well as a review of evaluation reports on the initiative.
