Community - applying for support
Criteria for applicants

- environment
- heritage
- support of staff-led projects
Applying for support
We have allocated all of our support until the end of January 2012. We are unable to accept any further applications until this date.
One-off requests for flight assistance
Due to the long-standing support offered to projects in the BACC scheme, we no longer accept one-off requests for complimentary travel for charitable purposes or otherwise.
