Additional Grant Documentation

To help you prepare a strong application, we have provided a range of supporting documents alongside the grant guidance. These include tools such as the Due Diligence Checklist, Application Checklists, and the Grants Scoring Matrix, which explain the information required and how applications are assessed. We strongly encourage applicants to review these documents before applying, as they are designed to support clear, complete and high‑quality submissions and to improve transparency around the assessment process.
