Note: these do not need to show exact legal detail, they are to help LLST understand your work and may potentially be used as an example of the work we fund, in our own promotional materials (in this event, we will contact you to ensure they are suitably anonymised or permission has been given).

One off capital support

The questions here are designed to help show clearly what you are seeking funding for and the impact this will have on your organisation’s ability to provide its services. We also want to ensure you (and we) receive the best value for money and so ask for a thorough break down of costs in case we can help you source a portion of these at a better rate.

What would you like to buy/hire/pay for (including prices)?

What difference will this make to your beneficiaries?
