FAQs - Applying and re-applying

Yes. In fact we’d encourage you to apply in the earliest application round possible because it will give you feedback on what you need to develop – and the longer you work with us the better. Even if you aren’t successful the first time round, you can apply later.

The earlier you can apply to us to help you the better. But if you come to us late, that’s fine – one of our advisers will spend an hour with you to talk through what you need to do.

Have you signed up for a surgery with one of our advisers? Any group can have a free hour with us where we will work through your plans and tell you what you need to do to get onto our Development Programme.  We hold our surgeries across the country – you can sign up here.

If you are removed from the programme (e.g. because you did not meet the deadlines in your support plan or your application was not improving in line with our expectations), you will not be able to reapply for our support this year.
