Initially
If your application for a grant is
successful then we will send an award letter, together with an acceptance form,
to the chief executive or equivalent at the hospice. We may contact the
application sponsor personally to confirm support of your application.
The acceptance form must be signed by the
application sponsor as well as the applicant, agreeing to the conditions of the
grant. We will ask you to confirm when the project will start and when you
expect to complete it.
The project should start within three
months and finish within 18 months of the date that the grant was awarded. We
reserve the right to withdraw funding after 18 months from the award date if it
is not claimed, so it is important that you keep us up to date with progress.
Payments will be made on the submission of
a grant claim form together with evidence of expenditure such as copies of paid
receipts and invoices in relation to the grant.
Through the life of your grant
We are keen to see how our grants make a real difference to the work of the
hospice and to learn how funded projects allow patients to be cared for at home.
We are also interested in increasing and sharing learning from the projects
that are funded through this programme.
If successful in your application for
funding, you will be expected to contribute to this. Activities may include:
-
submitting a short written progress report
three months after your grant was awarded
-
site visits by staff from Help the Hospices to monitor progress
-
ongoing communication with Help the Hospices to ensure that your
project goes as smoothly as possible and to help solve any issues as they arise
-
the sharing of ideas and knowledge and peer support through a
variety of media.
Once your project is complete
We will ask you to send us a final report
at the end of the grant funded period of your project, which will ask for
further information about what you have achieved and what impact the work has had
on you and your hospice.
