An estimate is fine. We know that plans can change!

How many children are likely to benefit from the project?

Don't worry if the answer is "no" - this won't affect the outcome of your application.

Are your children currently learning about RE / religion and worldviews? If so, how, and what resources do you use (if any)?

There are no right or wrong answers here — we'd love to hear your own perspective. Please write as much or as little as you like.

Why do you believe that religion and worldviews education is important?

This is the most important part of your application. Please describe your project in as much detail as you can — what you plan to do, who will be involved, and how it connects to RE/religion and worldviews education. The more you tell us, the better we can understand your vision. Please note that we're unable to fund activities outside of the UK.

What do you plan to use this funding for?

How much funding are you requesting for your project? (You can apply for up to £200 for family based project, or up to £1,000 for activities involving several families)

Projects can be any length. The grant should be spent by December 2027.

When is your project likely to be finished? (eg. August 2027)

eg. Room hire £50, travel costs £40, art materials £25. It's fine to estimate

Please say how the funds will be used and provide a breakdown of the costs

This is your chance to tell us why this matters. It doesn't need to be long, just tell us in your own words what you think will change or improve as a result of this project

What difference do you think this funding will make to your family / your community?

If successful, I agree to provide a short update when my project is complete to share what we've learned.  I'm also happy to be invited to optional online peer-support sessions throughout the year, culminating in an in-person celebration event in September. If successful, I'm also happy to provide a referee who can confirm I'm home educating in the eligible region

Is there anything else you'd like to add in support of your application?
