• Budget setting out the costs of the project, with proportion of the award to be spent on costs such as secretarial expenses, printing, publicity etc. Please specify any other expected contributions from other sources such as donations, or other income.

Please note:

• No application to be funded for more than £1000.

• The Trust exists to fund specific projects. We do not have sufficient resources to finance running costs. In normal circumstances we do not fund wages or contribute to living expenses. We will, however, consider travel and work - related expenses which contribute to socialist education and research.
