It’s just a week now until the deadline for FIF. We have put two items on the website which might help if you are fine-tuning your application.
If you couldn’t make it to the awareness sessions you might like to look at the presentation slides. Nowhere near as good as actually being there of course! But it might help a little.
Also we’ve put together a checklist of the most common problems to avoid. Many applications fail on one or more of these points – don’t let yours be one of those!
There’s lots more information on the website, including the policy docs and FAQs. Frankly, the chances of being successful if you HAVEN’T read these is pretty slim, so do take a look.
Good luck!
