National Lottery Charities Board West Midlands

West-Midlands Regional Office Video

The WMRO has produced a short video entitled "Thinking of applying" for use at briefings and information sessions.

The video was written and produced by Charities Board staff who worked with a local media company. It features case studies of grant holders who discuss their approach to the application form, their experience of the assessment process, and, following on from this the monitoring procedures that are conditional to the grant.

A copy of the video has been circulated to key contacts with development agencies throughout the region. Please contact the West Midlands office (use the contacts link above) for details of your nearest contact officer.
