2013 Bid for Coastal Community Fund fails, but…

… the Vision Group will be back in 2014 to apply for funding towards the Sidmouth-Bowd-Ottery-Feniton cycle path.

The Vision Group has heard from the Coastal Communities Fund, following the applcation for a grant towards the Sidmouth to Feniton route.

It has not been successful – but we will be trying again for the next round next year. Watch this space.

COASTAL COMMUNITIES FUND Application for a Grant

Thank you for your application to the Coastal Communities Fund. I am sorry to inform you that your application has not been successful in progressing to the second stage.

The first stage of the Coastal Communities process was a ‘call for ideas’ for projects that could achieve the outcome we want to bring about with this funding. We received an exceptionally high response at stage one, with far more projects applying for funding than the level of funds available:

  • In England we had a budget of £21,700,000 and received 310 applications worth £188,539,870.

It was decided not to progress your project to stage two.

We expect the Coastal Communities Fund to run for at least another year.

If you would be interested in applying to Coastal Communities Fund in the future, please check www.biglotteryfund.org.uk/global-content/programmes/uk-wide/coastal-communities for updates.
