Application Guidelines
Applications may be accepted from organisations which operate a membership policy; however this must not be restricted to membership only. A lettings policy should be in place and there must be clear evidence of wider community use, ie the facility is used by a least 4 further organisations or community groups not associated with the applying organisation.
Consideration will be given to projects requesting pump priming (no agreed funding in place), however this will be looked at on a project by project basis. Where the project involves multi-funders, clear evidence should be provided of which funders have been formally approached and also provide clear time frames for outcomes. In order to gauge whether first funding will be provided applicants must provide timescales for the delivery of the project.
Sustainability
Priority will be given to projects that have considered the environmental impact of their proposed project, energy efficiency, the use of sustainable materials and processes.
Consultation
Applicants should carry out appropriate community consultation to support their proposed project. Consultation should include existing users/user groups, potential users/user groups, residents who live close to the proposed project and members of the surrounding communities.
Evidence of Self-help
No maximum percentage of funding is set, however some degree of self-help is expected. 100% funding will not be awarded
