Applications will be assessed by the trustees of the charity at the beginning of each school term and will be assessed on the following basis:

The need of the applicant where other reasonable routes to support are not available.
The potential impact of the activity – what difference could the funding make
Value for money – what has been done to ensure that the plans for the fund will deliver value for money
