• I clicked on "Lost password" but I have never received an email with a link to create a password.

  3 possibilities :

  - The email address you entered doesn't match any of the email addresses registered in our database. In this case, please check which email address you used to create your account (a confirmation email was initially sent to you), then click on "Lost password" and enter the correct email address.

  - You have made a typing error when entering the email address to which the link to create a password must be sent. Click on "Lost password" and enter the correct email address.

• What types of projects are typically funded?

  We have previously funded a variety of projects, including electrical safety workshops held in a variety of languages and tailored to different community groups, PAT (portable appliance testing) events, repair cafes, creative electrical safety activities in schools such as storyboards and e-books, as well as the design of an educational virtual reality electrical safety game. We welcome innovate and novel applications around the theme of electrical safety. 
• Can organisations from outside of the UK apply?

  Unfortunately, we can only accept applications from organisations based in the UK. 
• If we are successful, how long will we have to complete our project?

  Projects should be completed within six months of a successful application. We understand that issues may arise, and extensions may be required, however, these MUST be agreed with Electrical Safety First. 
• If we are successful, when will we receive the funding?

  We aim to get funding to successful applicants as soon as possible. However, it depends, amongst other things, on the speed at which you sign the agreement and share your invoice with us.  
• When will decisions be made on the applications?

  We aim to review all applications throughout October and hope to inform applicants whether they have been successful or not on October 27th. This date may change due to unforeseen circumstances.
• Can I apply if I was successful last year?

  Yes. We welcome applications from those who were successful in previous years. 
• Can I apply if I was unsuccessful last year?

  Yes. A previous application does not prejudice you from applying again. 
• Is the funding restricted? / Are there any restrictions on what the funding can be spent on?

  Yes, funding is restricted. This means that any awarded funding MUST go directly towards your project. It cannot be spent on other projects, or general operating costs. As part of the application we will ask you to detail a breakdown of how the money will be spent, and if you are successful, we will request a breakdown after your project has taken place to assess this.
