** IMPORTANT UPDATE: REVISED PORTAL OPENING DATE**
THE OPENING DATE OF OUR NEW PORTAL HAS BEEN REVISED TO MONDAY 8 JUNE, 9AM
OUR ORIGINAL APPLICATION PORTAL WILL BE OPEN
- From Monday 18 May 9am
- And will permanently close Friday 5 June 12pm
Please bear with us whilst we finalise our new system to get it ready for opening!
In the meantime, you can register for an account and apply for grants as usual via our original portal
From 8th June we’re changing to a new application portal to improve our processes and efficiency, and to make applying easier. Some of the improvements include:
- Simpler application form
-
- Reduced amount of questions
-
- Easier to navigate with tabs relating to each category of questions
- Return of grant applications for more information / evidence
-
- We can add notes directly to your application asking for what’s needed
- Bank account details and bank evidence
-
- You’ll only need to provide bank evidence the first time you apply for a grant in the new portal. It’s no longer needed with every grant application
We’ll send an email nearer the opening time, with instructions of where and how to log into the new system.
A link to the new system will be posted here from 8 June
Grant Application Opening Times:
- Monday to Friday
- 9am to 4pm
