So it\u2019s always nice to celebrate a success in getting a funding application approved.<\/span><\/p>\n<p class=\"p1\"><span class=\"s2\">Recently a couple of groups have confirmed they\u2019ve been approved for funding from the <strong>Big Lottery Awards for All<\/strong> scheme. <strong>Hindu Cultural Society<\/strong> and the <strong>Royal Naval Association<\/strong> in Cleethorpes both successfully submitted applications for funding to support their premises and their projects. Well done to both.<\/span><\/p>\n<p class=\"p1\"><span class=\"s2\">In both cases these groups came to VANEL for advice and received support from our team as a \u2018critical friend\u2019. We helped them think through how to word their applications based on our experience with funding applications. We challenged and probed them so they really understood their own projects and how to present them on paper and helped them to align their applications with what the funder is looking for.<\/span><\/p>\n<p class=\"p1\"><span class=\"s2\">In each case the group was responsible for writing and submitting their applications, but we were trying to help them increase their chances of success. Something must have gone right because both groups were approved for funding.<\/span><\/p>\n<p class=\"p1\"><span class=\"s2\">We look forward to hearing from them as their projects progress and reporting back on what the funding has helped to happen.<\/span><\/p>\n<p class=\"p1\"><span class=\"s2\">Awards for All from Big Lottery is now even simpler than it\u2019s ever been. Up to \u00a310000 is available for pretty much anything as long as it aligns with the purposes that Big Lottery needs you to achieve. If you\u2019ve never applied for Awards for All, take a look.<\/span><\/p>\n<p class=\"p1\"><span class=\"s2\">So do you need help with your funding applications? If you\u2019re a Member or Friend of VANEL then give us a call and we\u2019ll do a bit of critical friend work with you. If you\u2019ve already got an application written we\u2019re more than happy to look over it and give feedback and advice. Of course if you need more time we\u2019re available for that too but we will charge an hourly fee for our time. Sometimes just an hour or two from VANEL is all it needs to get you writing your funding bid better.<\/span><\/p>\n<p class=\"p1\"><span class=\"s2\">If you want to contact us speak to Karl Elliott or Richard Wendel-Jones (<a href=\"mailto:karl@vanel.org.uk\">karl@vanel.org.uk<\/a>, <a href=\"mailto:richard@vanel.org.uk\">richard@vanel.org.uk<\/a>, 01472 361043)<\/span><\/p>\n<!--themify_builder_content-->\n<div id=\"themify_builder_content-17726\" data-postid=\"17726\" class=\"themify_builder_content themify_builder_content-17726 themify_builder tf_clear\">\n    <\/div>\n<!--\/themify_builder_content-->\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>A couple of local groups were successful with funding applications recently after a bit of \u2018critical friend\u2019 help from the VANEL team.
