We need the details of someone who can vouch for your project. They can be, for example, a youth worker, teacher, college lecturer, police officer, local councillor or MP. Or they can be anyone in the community who has benefited from the project, including someone working for the voluntary and community sector. Talk to them about your nomination and check that they are happy to support you.

When you click SAVE MY DETAILS we will automatically email the referee and ask them to confirm that they support your project by clicking on a link in the email. They need to do this before we can accept your application. So please double check you have the right email address for your referee!

Once your referee confirms, this status light on this tab will turn green. You can check this page to see what happens, and if you need to, you can also re-send a confirmation request, or change your referee using the form.
