Good to know

Unincorporated groups qualify only if affiliated to a local, regional or national body. Each cut-off is for money needed in a later month. If the 15th falls on a weekend, the cut-off is the Friday before. Salaries are generally funded three months at a time.

Monthly closing dates (15th) published on the home page; apply at least eight weeks before you need the money. No meeting in January 2027.
