For any project where timing matters, applicants should avoid making irreversible commitments before confirming the programme's pre-start requirements. Where the scheme is discretionary or delivered through an appointed partner, the agency or programme partner retains the final decision on eligibility and quantum.

Is this scheme relevant to your project?

A weak fit is: A conventional commercial sustainability investment where community action is incidental.
