[WiLT] London Councils' final phase of funding is now open for applications - apply by 5th Sept

[WiL Admin]

London Councils' final phase of funding is now open for applications

Phase 3 and phase 4 of the original funding timetable have been
merged. Each phase was closely spaced to begin with and by merging the
two phases, London Councils hopes to avoid confusion on the part of
organisations which wish to apply for funding under both phases.

The merging of the two phases will now be known as Phase 3/4. This
will not affect the application process in anyway other than to bring
together the two application windows into one.

As these phases are being advertised over the summer, London Councils
has extended the deadline for the receipt of applications by two
weeks.

The launch of phase 3/4 will take place on Wednesday 25 July 2007 -
organisations will not be able to apply before this date.

The closing date for the receipt of applications will be noon on
Wednesday 5 September 2007. We will not accept funding proposals
submitted after this time.

How to apply

London Councils strongly welcomes applications from organisations that
have not been funded by us previously.

All applications are assessed on merit: currently funded organisations
should ensure you provide us with all the information we ask for: do
not assume we will take organisation's past work into account unless
you tell us about it in the application.

The service specifications are divided into two groups according to
the application method:
* Single stage applications
* Two stage applications

For further information, please read about the London Councils funding
process. http://www.londoncouncils.gov.uk/cat.asp?cat=2498

If you have any queries please email funding at londoncouncils.gov.uk.
