Undertaking a project

Stage 1

  1. Establish a Project Management Committee to represent users. Identify the need to make improvements to the existing facility. Consider not only existing need but potential future need, eg. are there any plans to provide additional housing in the area.
  2. Prioritise the shopping list.
  3. Consult residents/organisations connected with the project. Establish local support.

Stage 2

  1. Consult potential funding agencies for advice on grants and timescale of applications.
  2. Submit 'marker' applications with outline proposals.
  3. Determine timescale for project to be undertaken (this will depend on availability of grants and fundraising efforts).
  4. Have detailed plans prepared and request tenders for the work.
  5. Submit planning applications and building regulation application (if required).
  6. Begin fundraising campaign (note: Statutory funding agencies can only provide a maximum of 75% of the total cost. The other 25% should be raised by other means).
  7. Select successful tenderer.
  8. Submit formal grant applications enclosing tender prices and detailed plans.
  9. Prepare the tenderer to begin work as soon as fundraising is complete.

Stage 3

  1. Undertake the project and claim grant aid.
