Guidelines to application
In response to a suggestion by applicants, we have for the last two years asked organisations to submit a short initial expression of interest. Schemes were shortlisted in November 2012 and a final decision on Large Grant awards for 2013/14 was made in January 2013. Applicants were formally notified of their awards at the beginning of April 2013. Grants totalling £463,000 were awarded.
