You will need to include  (1) proof of how you intend to use the grant (such as an email or letter from the provider including costs, or receipt) and (2) proof of the bank account details (for example, a photo of a statement, bank card or official email with account details).  PLEASE DO NOT SUBMIT THIS APPLICATION UNTIL YOU HAVE ATTACHED THOSE TWO THINGS AS IT MAY RESULT IN DELAYS IN PROCESSING OR THE APPLICATION BEING REJECTED!

Activity Details
The Springboard Allowance can be used to cover or contribute toward the cost of activities and clothing including but not exclusive to: 
Sports lessons (by qualified instructors). 
Music lessons and other art related lessons (by qualified tutors).  
Health & fitness related (e.g. gym/sports club memberships).
clothing and shoes towards an interview   

Important information for young people with SEND: Scotty's recognises that for young people with Special Educational Needs and Disabilities (SEND) the Allowance may need to be used more flexibly.  If you (or your child if a parent or carer is helping with the application!) are unable to participate in traditional extra curricula activities there may be other suitable uses for the Allowance.  Some recent examples include accessing Speech Language Therapy and purchasing equipment to allow a child to communicate.  If you are unsure if your idea qualifies please do ask the families team.
