There are two ways to tell us about your proposal
1. You can tell us about your Partnerships proposal online
Our online form makes it easier for you to tell us about your funding proposals.
Apply online Continue your proposal
If you have any communication needs
Please contact us for help if completing a form is difficult or impossible for you. We’re happy to talk about other ways for you to tell us about your funding proposal.
2. If you do not want to use our online form - you can email or send us a video instead
Tell us in your email or video:
- the name of your project
- where it'll take place
- what you'd like to do, how has demand for your services changed?
- how your work will involve your community
- how your project fits with local activities
- who will benefit from your project, how have they been affected by COVID-19?
- what difference your project will make, how will it mitigate the impact of COVID-19?
- how much money you need
- what you intend to spend the money on
- how long you need the money for
- tell us the names of your partners and the background of you all working together
- what your organisation does and why you’re best placed to deliver your project.
Your video only needs to be around five minutes long.
If you're going to take videos of people taking part in your project
Make sure you get their consent first. You'd normally do this with a consent form. Once you have the videos make sure they're stored safely.

Here’s what happens after you tell us about your funding proposal:
- We'll email you to let you know we got your proposal.
- We’ll let you know if your proposal is something we’re interested in progressing in around 12 weeks.
- If we’re interested in your proposal, we’ll contact you to explain the next steps. We’ll ask for more information about your proposal and your organisation. And your organisation’s financial accounts and current finances.
- If your proposal is something we do not want to take further at this time, we’ll provide feedback explaining why.
Here’s what happens after we give you the funding
Once you’ve been awarded over £10,000 of funding from us, here’s what to expect. This page will also let you know about the things you need to do too.
You also need to sign an agreement before we pay your funding
After being awarded funding, you and your partners have to sign an agreement that tells us:
- how you'll work together
- everyone's roles and responsibilities
- your commitment to working together.
You can use our Partnerships Agreement template (if you want to)
Or you can create your own partnerships agreement. The template is helpful if you have one lead partner who gets all of the funding and passes some of it on to the other partners. Our template is for guidance only, and we cannot give you legal advice. So make sure to get your own legal advice before signing any agreement if you’re unsure.
If all of your partners will get their funding directly from us
Tell your local funding officer when you contact them about your project idea so we can support you to run a project like this.
If you’re not sure how to tell us about your funding proposal
You can also read our Data Protection Statement to see how we use the personal data you give us.
We ask you to read and agree to our terms and conditions

We do checks on the information you give us
As an organisation that gives out public funds, we carry out some checks on the information you give to us. Learn more about our checks.
