How much and what can you apply for
To begin with you can apply for £300 and one day of training to help you get your project off the ground. Think Big will help you evaluate how the first stage of your project has gone, and if things are going well you may be invited to take part in the Think Bigger programme, through which you can apply for a larger grant of £2,500. As part of the Think Bigger programme you will attend three day residential training and be allocated an O2 helper to support you in planning the next stage of your project. Your training and support will be about things you need to make your project work , such as budgeting and publicity.
