Funded Role Grant Application

  • GRANT APPLICATION FORM

    FUNDED ROLE

     Please note that all applications will be assessed when the grant round closes.

    The charity will not fund anything retrospectively.

    Grant applications will only be considered when they have been seen and accepted by your line manager/divisional director and evidence to support the costs has been attached. Missing or incorrect information will cause a delay to a funding decision and may not be granted.

    Please note - if you re-applying for the same request, you will need to have completed a Monitoring & Evaluation form detailing the impact the previous funding has had before we can consider a new request. Please contact us for the form.

  • TIPS TO HELP WITH COMPLETING THE FORM

    • Read through the application form first so that you are aware of what information you will need to complete it.
    • Keep the application simple, include key points and ensure your figures add up.
    • Please note we may not be able to further consider your application if there is insufficient information provided so please use these tips and examples under the questions to help you.
    • If using acronyms, please explain what they are for the first time so that we know what they mean.
    • Ask someone who isn’t involved with the project/funding request to read the application - does it make sense? Can they identify the key points?

      This section is for you to explain how this role is not core NHS provision.

      Please note, if this is something that would normally be funded by the NHS/Trust, but the Divisional/Trust budgets cannot accommodate this, then this does not mean that this should be funded by Bristol & Weston Hospitals Charity as it would be considered standard provision and not over and above what the NHS/Trust should provide.
