Market Traders Grant - Post application guidance
What happens if my proposal is successful?
Successful projects will be contacted by email, within 5 working days of the grant panel meetings.
You will be given until 30 March 2025 to complete your project. Failure to deliver your project within this timescale could put your funding at risk and it may be re-allocated to another project.
Once booking dates have been confirmed and evidence of payments received SHDC funding and items will be released.
Grants for non SHDC provided items, can take up to 5 working days to be received in your bank account.
Successful applicants are expected to participate in public relations and communications activities directly related to the grant award.
For audit purposes we may need to check the items are still in business ownership for 12 months after the grant has been awarded. If the company ceases to trade within 12 months of grant award, the items will need to be returned to SHDC.
What happens if my proposal is unsuccessful?
You will be contacted about the outcome of your application, even if you are not successful.
Unsuccessful applicants will be contacted by email. We are only able to provide a summary of why a project was unsuccessful; decisions are final, and there is no appeal process.
