The purpose of the application forms is to allow the Trust to assess the applicants, and the outline of the proposed project, in order to draw up a short list for interview in each category. The Trust does not expect applicants to have planned their projects in detail at this stage, but the purpose of the project and the benefits to the community and the UK must be clear.
