From 30 March onwards, we will assess the applications based on quality and completeness, and check whether a realistic budget or quotation has been attached. Coaches who have not previously received the grant will then be given priority. If sufficient grants are available, coaches who have already received the grant once may use the scheme again by submitting a new application. Finally, if there is a lot of interest, we will consider the order in which the applications were received, with earlier applications receiving priority.
What can you use the grant for?
- Purchasing teaching materials
- Buying materials for a vegetable garden
- Hiring a guest teacher
- An excursion to a farm or garden.
