During the last round of NCIL we included a feedback form at the end of the application. We were pleased to have received 242 replies to this questionnaire. We also got feedback from applicants and grant recipients in our day to day work with communities.
We analysed this feedback in advance of developing the forms and and processes for this round of NCIL and made every effort to ensure that the application form, as well as all the admin for assessing and delivering NCIL funding is accessible, user-friendly and time-saving for both applicants and officers.
We hope this will free up time for grants recipients to do the work they do best and for officers to support organisations through the application process and through the monitoring and delivery of successful projects.
