After that maybe they will now start to think that filling in these bits of paper for a grant application is the specialist job that it is.

The Accrington Blind society employed a professional to apply for a lottery grant few years ago Neil, cost quit a lot of money too, they got turned down:rolleyes:

Thats why its called a lottery bid :)

You can only do everything you can to try and win it.

If the bid fails then so does the management fee park of it and the professional in question does not get paid. Thats whats good about a fund finder thats pay his/her wage from the bids.

As some one who plays the lottery I'd rather see projects like Rhyddings park and the blind society being sucussful, but they seem to have to work much harder to get grants

Maybe that comes down to those doing the judging.

Also if the bid meets all the relevant criteria for the particular bid and the forms are correctly filled in and all the supporting evidence is there to show the need then it should get the funding.

No one has to work harder than anyone else - everyone has exactly the same forms to fill in.

But as you have said before Gayle, there does seem to be an art in it, as you well know.

Re: Charity Money

Not art Kate, its like everything else, experience and knowing how to do it, more of a skill I would say. It also helps if you can read and understand what the application requires and know how to word your answers to maximise whatever scoring method they use to access them.

I will stick with skill and experience I think.

Fair enough there may be an art to it, or skill or experience, but if someone doesn't have that skill they don't get given simpler forms!

Which is precisely why you need someone filling them in who does have the knack. :)
