Great news! I heard today we DID get the funding (see 17th July 2014). Apparently the panel were really impressed with my presentation and my answers to their questions. In case you’re wondering, the funding organisation has asked to remain anonymous, so I can’t name them publicly here, but I do want to say “thank you” for the award. Thanks also to the Sheila McKechnie Foundation (SMK) who administered the scheme and gave me lots of helpful advice along the way.
We got the max grant available under this scheme, but that still leaves us a tiny bit short. So, I rushed home then filled in an application to Ashingtown Town Council, longstanding supporters of SENRUG, for the balance required. They recently asked what else they could do to help SENRUG, so possibly this is the answer.
