What the funder asks grantees to report

Reporting

A brief annual report on a council template each year, plus a possible site visit.

Each year you will need to provide a brief annual report (we have a template for you to fill in) and we may also organise a site visit with you so you can show us how the allocated funds were spent and what was achieved.
