Advice on funding:
Before embarking on a funding application, it is important to firstly;
- Carefully consider what you require funding for, how it will be used and who the funding will impact upon. Be prepared to insert as much of this information into the funding application so that the assessor fully understands your project and purpose.
- Read the funding guidance thoroughly and check that your club and project is eligible. Most funding providers provide a contact email or number should you have any queries.
- Collate as much insight and data to evidence your club’s need for funding.
- Develop a robust and clear financial plan to show how the funding will be spent.
- Speak to your BJA Club Support Officer about your application. They are experienced in writing bids and can offer support and guidance with your application.
