The latest edition of Inside Track produced by the KCC External Funding Unit contains information on national, regional and local sources of funding. You might also want to refer to Kent4Community a new free web based grant search facility.

As you may be aware all bids which are submitted by KCC officers for external funding (over £5,000) are required to prepare an EF1 form - preferably before submission - and return this completed form to the External Funding Unit.

The completion of an EF1 is a KCC requirement and has been authorised as such by Members and Chief Officers.

If you are considering developing a bid for external funding could you please speak to the external funding contact for your Directorate/Unit listed in the Inside Track newsletter, if you have any further questions please do not hesitate to contact Martyn Riley on 01622 694384 or email: martyn.riley@kent.gov.uk
