What happens next:

• The trustees review all grant applications and decide which grants to award. Unfortunately, we often receive more grants than we are able to fund.
• We aim to contact all applicants within 4 weeks of the closing date to let them know whether they have been awarded a grant.
• If you have been successful, we will invite you to a session where we will work with you to book your experience or activity.
• We will ask you to provide a short quote on the difference the grant makes to help encourage other people to apply in the future.
