Documents we need to see

There are some documents that must be submitted along with your application. These documents fall into two categories:

• Governance and ownership documents
• Project specific documents

Governance and ownership documents

These provide information about your organisation which we need to see to determine whether it is able to receive Lottery funding. We also need to consider the financial health of your organisation and how it is run and managed.

The documents we needs to see with your application are:

• A photocopy of the governing document
  For example, this may be a constitution, memorandum and articles of association, trust deed or other formal document (not required for statutory bodies)
• A photocopy of most recent audited or accountant verified accounts (not required for statutory bodies)
• Photocopies of last three bank statements (not required for statutory bodies)
• Evidence of security of tenure
• Child protection policy

You should already have these documents and we simply require you to submit them with your application as proof of being a bona fide organisation which is eligible to receive lottery funding.

Project specific documents

These documents help you to provide us with a picture of how your project will deliver the outcomes shown in your application and whether the project is sustainable.

The documents regarding your project which we need to see are:

• Sports development plan
• Income and expenditure forecast for a minimum of three years

We have provided templates for the sports development plan and income and expenditure forecast for you to use if you wish. These are available on our website under useful documents. If you already have this information in another format then please add them to your application.

If you already have this information in another format then please add them to your application.
