Help with your application

We know people will want to access information from us in different ways, and with different levels of support. We're committed to making it as easy as possible for everyone to apply for funding with us.

Support we can offer

  • One-to one sessions with a grants manager over Zoom or by phone. Book a call.
  • British Sign Language (BSL) calls using Signvideo or with a grants manager that can use BSL.
  • Word and PDF versions of the application form available to download for those that would like to look at the questions before applying online. Download these here.
  • Online information sessions to talk about our aims and give you the chance to ask questions. These are organised periodically – get in touch to find out when the next one is scheduled.

Different ways to apply

Writing out answers isn't always the easiest way for everyone to explain their work. If you're applying for grant funding, we're also happy to accept video and voice applications (please not that you'll still need to submit some information on our online application form). We'll then transcribe the video or audio into English. Please contact us if you want to do this.

Access payments

We can offer up to £500 for accessibility-related support to organisations that need it. Find out more about this and how to apply for access funding in the document below.
