Restrictions

  • Projects whose primary aim is to generate a financial surplus.
  • Projects for which the Society's support would not significantly enhance the activity.
  • Projects that are part of an education institution's usual programme of activities, including Open Days and Taster Days.
  • Costs of general purpose hardware, apparatus or equipment.
  • Employment costs of project staff that receive a salary from the applying organisation.
