Prepare

The value of requests for our funding is far higher than the amount of money we have available. We will assess your application against our priorities and consider how well it meets them in comparison with other applications put forward for a specific funding round. 

In this competitive environment it is in your and your project’s interest to prepare and submit the best application possible. It needs to communicate clearly and concisely what you want to achieve, how your project meets our objectives, why it is needed and how it will best meet this need. 

To help you with this process, the documents below will provide you with guidance and ideas to draw on when preparing your application:

 

• 'Let Us Know' - a guide to project compliance and completing our forms
• Questions and guidance for our Eligibility Checker
• Questions for Stage 1 of our application form 
• Questions for Stage 2 of our application form
• Play England’s ‘Design for Play’ guide
