Grant Deadlines and Timescales
All grant applications come in the first instance to the Grants Manager, whose role is to manage the grant scheme.
If projects are eligible the Grants Advisory Panel, made up of independent members from throughout the county, then assess them at area level. Their recommendations are then taken to the Trust.
The current Grant Application Form is version July 2023. Please ensure you are using this form as missing information can cause delays.
The Trustees meet twice a year to assess grant applications. If you are successful in obtaining a grant, your project will be registered by ourselves with Entrust (the government regulator). Then a formal offer letter will be issued with the relevant paperwork. You will also be notified if the project has not been successful. Notification will be within 6 working weeks of the Trustees meeting.
Once the grant acceptance form has been received work can commence on the project. Grant payments are paid on completion of the project. Please note we cannot retrospectively fund projects.
