Dear Crown Estate Scotland,

Please treat this email as a freedom of information request.

I understand that the Crown Estate provided funding to GAIRLOCH & LOCH EWE
ACTION FORUM (Company number SC220037) in order to carry out a community
consultation project.

Please could you supply me with all recorded information held by Crown
Estate Scotland relating to this grant. This could include, but need not
be limited to, grant application materials, subsequent reporting,
assessment documentation, and related correspondence.

I look forward to hearing from you in due course.

Yours faithfully,

Ally Tibbitt
