Currently there are no application rounds organised for the financial year 2009/10, as due to budget cuts, there may not be funds available to run a Challenge Fund this year.
If the situation changes, we will publicise this both on our website, by email and other media vehicles. Should you wish any information about previous projects, perhaps as a model to copy elsewhere, please do not hesitate to get in touch with us.
Please call Angus Whyte on 0131 270 6076 or Richard Terry on 0131 270 6071 if you’d like to discuss any proposal you have.
