We have three windows in which to submit applications.  The dates for these can be found in 'Application forms and guidance'.

Once you’ve submitted your application to us we will do two things:

1. check that you meet our criteria.

2. assess your proposal.

We expect to receive more applications than we can support, and regrettably, there will be organisations that we cannot help. In this case, we will endeavour to let you know as soon as possible and may be able to direct you to other means of help.
