The New Opportunities Fund is a distributor of funds derived from the National Lottery. It may make grants to fund or assist in the funding of projects, or make or enter into arrangements, which are designed to give effect to initiatives specified by the Secretary of State that are concerned or connected with health, education or the environment. This Order specifies a number of such initiatives applying throughout the United Kingdom. They are -
(1) an initiative -
-
(a) to provide (or improve), develop, operate and promote the use of sports facilities for school and community use, facilities for adventure activities or facilities in or connected with schools that may be used for activities connected with the arts;
(b) to provide programmes intended primarily for persons who have not attained the age of 18 years that involve sporting activities;
(2) an initiative to provide training and other education through programmes of adventure and other challenging activities;
(3) an initiative to improve the prevention, detection, diagnosis and treatment of cancer, coronary heart disease and strokes, and to improve the provision of associated support and information services;
(4) an initiative to improve the provision of palliative care, of support and information services associated with such care, and of counselling services;

(6) an initiative to improve the environment of communities, and to promote healthier lifestyles;
(7) an initiative to involve local people in small-scale projects in their communities that are concerned or connected with health, education or the environment.
Article 3 of this Order revokes article 3(1) of the New Opportunities Fund (Specification of Initiatives) Order 1999 (S.I. 1999/996), which is no longer needed because it specifies an initiative for the prevention, detection, diagnosis and treatment of cancer and the provision of palliative care and associated services that is now included within the provision made in article 2(4) and (5) of this Order. Otherwise, the initiatives in this Order are in addition to those specified in that Order of 1999 and the New Opportunities Fund (Specification of Initiatives) Order 1998 (S.I. 1998/1598).
