PODCAST TRANSCRIPT

My name is Maureen McGinn, and I have just become the Chair of the Big Lottery Scotland Committee, and a member of the UK board.

My aspiration for 2012 would be that we work with people in communities and organisations to release the potential, and to help people achieve their vision of what they want, and to make their community better or to help change lives.

Whatever happens over the course of the next year, the Big Lottery Fund in Scotland, and in the UK, will continue to support people, individuals, communities, and using the same professionalism, integrity, humanity, passion - and will do that whenever possible, in partnership with others, both in the statutory sector, and in the funding sector that share our ambitions, and that share our aspirations.
