During September we will be making some technical enhancements to our application and grant-making systems for programmes in England. To allow the updates to happen, we will be pausing new applications between Monday 4 September and Monday 2 October. Questions and answers What is happening? I was eligible to apply for a grant in September, does that mean I will have to wait?Does the pause apply for paper applications? What happens to applications that are received before midnight on Monday 4 September?Will these changes affect my grant? Will the application pause apply if I live in Scotland, Northern Ireland and Wales?
