Fwd: The UK Fund - request for further information
by Kim Foale 15 Oct '24

15 Oct '24

just got back off my hols and great news - its not a no, but we prob have a little way to go towards yes! the last one - impact - is what we have struggled with from day one - all ears if anyone has any ideas or success stories for their thing locally. will update you all when theres more to update. kim ---------- Forwarded message --------- From: Nadine Salter <nadine.salter(a)tnlcommunityfund.org.uk> Date: Fri, 20 Sept 2024 at 14:28 Subject: The UK Fund - request for further information To: kim(a)gfsc.studio <kim(a)gfsc.studio> Hello Kim, I hope you are well. I am one of the Portfolio Officers working on the UK Fund and working on assessing your application. There a few areas from your application that we would like some clarification/further information on: - what are the gardens of sanctuary and what locations do you plan to expand these to in this project? - the application states 'we will create a national network' and mentions a 'network of networks'. Is this in place already and you plan to grow within the project, or is this new? - will the listed partners be receiving funding through this project? - aside from the case studies, do you have any further evidence that the approach you have taken in the past has worked? This can include project evaluations or anything else to demonstrate the impact of the work. If easier I am happy to chat these through briefly next week, or you can answer by email - whichever is easier for you.

Hello everyone, I've just finished a draft I'm happy to send to the lottery. It's here: https://docs.google.com/document/d/1p_NaZib-kLQE6y707C0BnoYg4noKp3U0xLhFfFs… Comments welcome but please bear in mind getting this under the wordcount whilst answering all the lotterys' subheadings AND refer to our previous funded work with them was a nightmare so please only small replacements and if theres anything glaring be gentle and suggest what you'd like instead :) I'll send this on Thu if there's no objections before then.
