How to apply for the Access Fund

Step 1 - read the Access Fund Information & Guidance and check out our made up examples of a high scoring and low scoring application and budget. You could also take a look at our top tips and our blog post focussing on the key questions in the application form. Another useful resource is this webinar recording where the Access Fund Manager explains how the application process works, goes through what it is we're asking for in the application questions and the kinds of things we need to see in your answers.

Step 2 - prepare your answers in the mock application form and budget.

Step 3 - SUBMIT YOUR APPLICATION
