Ok, my grant application has been approved.. £2k less than I asked for but I'm not gonna kick off. Just need to sign the form and my prepaid MasterCard is in the post. Once I've cleared it all with MasterCard's fraud dept I can add my £8k and start shopping. If after that I get cleaned out I'll probably have to leave the group to save me from all the abuse heading my way!

Good luck to him! Or shame on him if Kevis right.

 

So are there any legit Government grants that are relevant to us (ones that you apply through, you know, the government!)? I think there are still a few sustainable energy grants that you can swindle her Majesty out of a few saws if your turning out enough firewood.

 

What about small buisness/sole trader start ups?

LEADER might still be trudging along: https://www.gov.uk/guidance/rural-development-programme-for-england-leader-funding

 

If you want to jump through tiresome and pointless admin hoops, justify your existence and verify that you actually already have the necessary funds to purchase that which you might need to retrospectively reclaim some of the cost for (yes, that really IS a qualifying criteria - you must already HAVE the money to buy something which you might want to get some cash back afterwards for from LEADER!)

 

It's a beauty! I'm convinced the "system" will have spent more on staff costs and admin than it will have ever dispersed as grant funding. Classic public sector inefficiency!!
