Changes at Awards for All
Awards for All has been running for 6 years and in that time 171 grants have been awarded in the Inverclyde area with sums up to £5000.
There have been some changes to the application form and the eligibility criteria, which may make the grants accessible to even more groups.
Groups with an annual income of more than £20000 can now apply for Awards for All unless the project is about sports or the arts.
Foreign trips can be applied for, again, unless the project is about sports or arts.
Applications will still be accepted on the old forms until March 2005.
The new application pack is available on line at
www.awardsforall.org.uk/scotland/apps_pdf.html or telephone 0845 600 2040 to get a paper copy.Awards for all Scotland is looking at how they might change in future – and would like to hear your views. If you have any comments, questions or feedback, please email
