Registration

The Fore runs three funding rounds each year – Spring, Summer and Autumn.  The first step to applying is to register your interest. Following consultation with the sector, registration will now be open for one week:

  • During this time please register your interest on the Applying for Funding page. This takes around 2-3minutes.
  • On 20th July, registered applicants will receive confirmation they have been allocated a place on the funding round. Details of how to apply will be included.
