Before you start check the various criteria carefully, you must tailor your grant to these. Although it's changing there is a bias towards capital projects (the system's big weakness) and so you will need to think it through carefully. Do not get hung up on a lottery grant, depending what you want to do there may well be other avenues open. If you want to send me a PM I'll have a lookn and see if I can help or point you in other directions.

All the best
