How to apply
Incomplete applications
Three quarters of all applications to the Awards for All programme have essential information missing. The most common omissions are:
- bank statements are missing or unacceptable
- accounts are missing or unacceptable
- the dates of birth of contacts are missing, and
- referees are not suitable.
Incomplete applications waste everybody’s time, so we have now introduced a complete application process whereby we return incomplete applications explaining what is missing.
The main reason that applications are rejected is that we are asked to fund items or activities that Awards for All does not cover. Read the guidance notes carefully to check that what you are planning to do fits the programme.
Please note that some of the Awards for All distributors have revised their funding priorities and these are effective from 1st April 2008. The Awards for All Northern Ireland Guidance notes and application form (Version 2/10K/NI) have now been updated providing details of these revisions, and are available to download.
IMPORTANT:
From Tuesday 1st July 2008 Awards for All, Northern Ireland, will no longer accept the previous application form (green and purple cover).
