What documents are needed as part of my application
Organisations must have a governing document to receive funding.
You will need to provide both your governing document and group/business bank account details if you are successful in your funding application.
Depending on who your activity/project is aimed at we may request other documents, for example, a safeguarding policy if you are working with children or vulnerable adults.
How are applications approved
