Applications written by consultants or private businesses

Do not use private businesses or consultants to write your application. Some may claim to act on our behalf, or say they are a preferred supplier. They may even offer to write your application for you.

We will not accept applications written by them.

Where you can get support

You can get help from support organisations, such as your local council or the Northern Ireland Council for Voluntary Action (NICVA). They may be able to give you advice and support with writing your application.
