We regret that our resources do not allow us to provide advice over the telephone on matters which are covered on our website.

If your application is unsuccessful
It is not our policy to explain why any particular application has not been successful. With such a high number of applications received, it is just not possible to support every application.   We would ask that you leave a period of six months before reapplying.

Monitoring
If  an application is successful we require a progress report after six months with more periodic reports for larger capital appeals. Please download guidelines for submitting your progress report.
