This year, applications will not be accepted without an Expression Of Interest form being completed first. This is to ensure that projects are ready for the application phase and that organisations are provided with as much support at possible.
If you have recently submitted an EOI form, don’t worry an officer will be in touch with you very soon.
If you haven’t, you can request an expression of interest form by emailing
