If you are applying on behalf of an armed forces unit or base and your application is successful, we will request a supporting statement from the CO/OC or equivalent to ensure that all projects are compliant with the host country.

If you are applying as a charity and working in partnership with an armed forces unit or base, and your application is successful, we will still expect a supporting statement from the CO/OC or equivalent with a delivery partnership agreement.

Whilst we do not need this at application stage, you might want to bear this in mind as part of your planning.

If your application is successful, we will ask you to provide a statement of support from the CO/OC or equivalent. This is a formal letter of support endorsing your project and confirming compliance with the host country. It should be completed on headed paper and include their full name, rank, address, telephone number and email address.

Yes, we advise all our applicants to carefully consider and include exchange rate costs when planning their budgets. This ensures that financial planning is robust and can accommodate fluctuations in currency values, which could impact the overall budget.

We will make the awards in GBP, so your application should be budgeted in GBP even if expenditure will be in local currency. All reporting back to us on spend, if your application is successful, should also be in GBP.

No, the total amount of the grant as per your offer letter will not be increased whether or not your project costs go up. If there are significant changes to your project budget these should be discussed with the Trust.

We will pay the grant in the currency of your named and authorised bank account.

If you have a UK bank account, we strongly prefer that you use it for all transactions with us. This simplifies the process for both parties and may offer additional benefits, such as avoiding international transfer fees and facilitating quicker payments.

If you do not have a UK bank account, if your application is successful you will need to provide us with the following information to process transactions:

Your bank’s international routing code (e.g., SWIFT/BIC).

Your account number and the name on the account. (We will discuss the specific evidence we require if you are awarded a grant)

Any additional information required by your bank for international transfers, such as the bank’s full address and your sort code.

Supporting letter authorising use of the account from the account holder.

Please note that we will not ask for this information unless your application is successful, but you may want to include finding out about bank account arrangements as part of your project planning.
