Great! It looks like you DO NOT have to complete the project information section of the application form. Just input 'Project Continuation' in the project title so that we know you are applying for funding to continue the same project, add new start and end dates, number of expected beneficiaries and amount you are applying for with an attached budget. Please DO complete the organisation address and contact details so that we know who you are, otherwise we will not be able to assess your application. If nothing has changed in relation to safeguarding or managing risks since your previous application then you can also leave these sections blank.
