Initially
If your application for a grant is
successful then we will send an award letter, together with an acceptance form,
to the application sponsor, usually the chief executive or equivalent of the
hospice.
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 12 months of the date that the grant was awarded. We
reserve the right to withdraw funding after 12 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
12 months after you receive your grant, which will ask for further information about what you have achieved and what impact
the work has had on you and your hospice.
