Introducing some new
Changes
The Partnership would
like to inform groups of the introduction of some new, and hopefully
welcome changes in respect of the Small Grants Scheme:-
* The Small Projects
Fund will now be known as the Small Grants Scheme;
* New Information packs
will be disseminated to all applicants in an effort to assist them to
complete their applications to meet the requirements of the South
Edinburgh Partnership;
* Small Grants Scheme
Surgeries will be introduced.
The purpose of the
surgeries is to provide an opportunity for groups/organisations to
obtain impartial advice and assistance in completing their application
forms, prior to submitting them to the Partnership.
The surgery will be
organised by Ian Brooke of the South Edinburgh Voluntary Sector Support
Project. If you would like help and assistance in completing a SIP Small
Grants Application Form please contact Ian Brooke on 468 8145.
