    Making a Difference Grant Application

  • Thank you for your interest in the Making A Difference fund! The following notes should help you with your application.

    About the Fund

    The Making A Difference Fund provides financial assistance to Companies for projects,
    events and purchases that can be seen to "Make a Difference" for the young people and leaders within the Battalion.

    The fund is managed by the Battalion Trustees. Applications will be assessed by the Battalion Executive quarterly, with deadlines for applications March 31st, June 30th, September 30th and December 31st.

    We can provide up to £5000 to fund projects, and each application will be assessed on its own merits. The Trustees will fund projects that "Make A Difference", which could include:

    • Trying out a new sporting or adventure activity;
    • A camp or residential weekend;
    • Hiring professional activity instructors;
    • Equipment that will enhance the delivery of the BB programme (e.g., a data projector).

    These are just some examples - it is up to you to make your case for what you want funding for!

    Pleae note that we cannot provide funding for:

    • Brigade or Battalion subscriptions;
    • Uniforms or badges;
    • Anything where the funding only benefits a few young people within the Company;
    • Ongoing financial committments (such as insurance premiums on a minibus);
    • Purchases (e.g. computers) which are used for Company administration rather than by the young people.

    A previous application does not discount you from applying again. However, as funding is not unlimited, the Trustees may prioritise Companies who have not received funding recently.
