Pompey Mick Posted April 20, 2006 Report Posted April 20, 2006 Has anyone on the forum been involved or know of anyone who has been involved in a successful 'Awards for All' lottery grant. My Club tried two years ago but were unsuccessful and we are now in the process of re-submitting a claim. Any useful hints would be gratefully accepted.
Guest shadow Posted April 20, 2006 Report Posted April 20, 2006 Sorry can't help you with that we got turned down last year, they said our club rules were not right but did not say what was wrong.
Guest TAMMY_1 Posted April 20, 2006 Report Posted April 20, 2006 CERTAINLY HAVE MATE, I APPLIED FOR A GRANT FOR OUR CLUB IN DECEMBER OF LAST YEAR I ASKED FOR JUST UNDER £4000 AND GOT IT. IF YOU SEND ME YOUR E-MAIL ADDRESS I WILL SEND YOU ALL THE INFO I HAVE AS I KEPT EVERYTHING AND I HAVE ALLREADY PASSED THIS ON TO SEVERAL LOCAL CLUBS.
Roundo Posted April 20, 2006 Report Posted April 20, 2006 Pompey Mick, Yes, I applied at the beginning of the year for a grant for my club. Within six weeks of me sending to them I received a letter to confirm that I was successful and that the money would be in the Club account in a matter of a few weeks. The only real hint that I would give to anyone who itends to apply is to read the info pack and the instructions over and over again and be very clear of what they require. Also, be very honest with the information that you supply on the application form. They will get in touch with the applicant if they require any other info that may have been missed. I have heard of Clubs being refused first time round, but have succeeded the second time...............Good Luck!!!! Roundo.

Pompey Mick Posted April 20, 2006 Author Report Posted April 20, 2006 Hi Shadow, we had the same problem about rules, it would seem you need a constitution with the Club's aims and plans for the future in it. Our Club rules just dealt with the running of the Club and weren't sufficient.
