Advice

Here's some tips to bear in mind when you do apply courtesy of our board members:

If possible, try and include quotes for anything you need money for. We can see whether it's value for money and that you've budgeted properly :)

Always try to refer to the guidance notes.

Check out the SRE learning outcomes young leaders hope to achieve through the project - does you project fulfil any of these?

Make sure your project is as youth-led as possible and try to put this across in the application.

Whilst your project may reach out to hundreds of young people, it is the quality of the SRE that we value more :)

Be realistic: do you honestly need to spend money on something you could obtain from somewhere else, maybe for free or for a lesser amount?

Be very specific about what you are applying for from us, can we provide you with anything that you may need to pay for if you got it from somewhere else ie. if you needed sex and relationships education, can we provide it rather than you paying for it?

Although the number of people reached is very important, it is quality over quantity and the quality of the SRE delivered means more than the number of people who have access to it.

Make sure it's youth lead.

Re-read what you write before sending it.

If hand written, please write neat.

MAKE IT ENTHUSTASTIC!!  (OR we’ll all find it boring and not fund it) :-p
