11/08/08 Have you missed the SFBB grant deadline… it’s not too late
For those Local Authorities who were unable to find enough time to submit a grant application this time the FSA indicated earlier on this year that there may be a 4th round in the year 2008/ 2009 and a 5th round in 2009/10 with funding for SFBB available of £1.5 million each year. Although it is not known when the exact announcements for new applications will be made by the FSA we recommend that Local Authorities undertake plenty of advance preparations as the bid criteria require a well thought out project plan and ideally with partners and match funding identified. Experience also tells us that once applications for grant awards are announced the time for submitting returns is very short. We would welcome the opportunity to discuss and plan future SFBB project initiatives with any Local Authority and will bring a raft of ideas for constructing a cohesive bid, delivering a successful project and even possible sources for alternative funding and other partners.
