At the last of the workshops prior to the launch of the Creative care and support fund we worked in pairs to shape the ideas for projects and enterprises, and to focus these in such a way that application to the Creative care and support fund would be a straight-forward process.
The forms we used are listed at the bottom of this page. We chose to use templates for this session because they could ‘frame’ the process of business planning, which can otherwise be a daunting process. We designed forms that would capture the essential information for the applicants while focusing their attention on what is achievable rather than what might not happen. For that reason we also encouraged the applicants to plan in six-month stages, to better control what needed to happen, and when.
The planning tools were made available online to any interested community members who were not able to make it to the workshops together with contact details for project partners so that all could receive The fund will launch with an open day on Monday 28th April at the Atholl Centre. The launch will be a drop-in session between 2-6.30pm where anyone with an interest in the project or fund can come and receive information and a funding pack.
