What IF..? Fund application form

What is the What IF..? Fund?

The What IF..? Fund provides grants to our service users and learners. It’s available to groups of current Nacro service users and students.

The What IF..? Fund has been developed to help the people we support to improve their confidence and build life skills. It should be used to enrich the lives of the people we support, and/or support their personal development.

The Fund can be used to pay for:

Items and equipment – for example garden furniture, sports or cooking equipment.
Activities – for example a trip, joint meal or an activity such as bowling or skating.

The ideas and ambitions of our service users and learners are central to the purpose of the Fund. Its use should be driven by what they want to do, and we encourage applications for items and activities that give them the opportunity to try something new, or to create and run events.

Applicants will need to demonstrate how the Fund feeds back into their ideas and ambitions, and also show how the planning and delivery of the idea will be led by, and for, the people we support.

Please complete the form below, including as much detail as possible. We’ll be in touch if we need any more information from you!

I understand that awards made by the What IF..? Fund are for the benefit of Nacro service users or learners.
