Regional outcomes
We will assess and score your application against a set of
national and regional criteria. There are full details on page 15 of
these guidance notes.
The regional criteria looks at how well your project meets
regional need. If you believe that your project will deliver one or
more of the following outcomes in your region, you should
describe how at Q11. If you are not sure which region your
project is based in, the lists on page 25 may help.
Your project does not have to deliver one or more of these outcomes
to be considered for funding. When we do not have enough funds
to support all applications, we will prioritise those that do.
