Based on feedback from the last couple of years, we're awarding grants as quickly as we can, to help you book a much-needed break as soon as possible. So between now and July we'll start to administer grants.

Please don't worry if you've applied and haven't heard from us yet - we're still working through applications. Each application is unique so eligibility checks can be different for each.

Everyone who has applied will be told the outcome by 11 July at the latest. Our teams are focused on administering your application, and therefore we're not able to give updates on individual applications.

We know how important these grants are for you, and we’re committed to getting back to everyone as quickly and fairly as possible.

Thank you for your patience and understanding.
