How to apply
We have two application deadlines throughout the year, and no restrictions on reapplying. We encourage applicants to submit their forms ahead of the deadline.
We have a two stage application process:
1st Stage: complete the online application. We will acknowledge your application by email within five working days, so that you know it has reached us safely.
2nd Stage: once the Trustees have decided which applications are of interest to them (a shortlist is made the following week), you may be contacted to answer further questions. You will be notified three weeks after the deadline on whether your application is successful.
