I put together an application for the FNF but didn’t get through to the next round and the meetings in January. I’m very sceptical about the way Nesta selects who they want to work with, and this was a terrible process to follow when applying. There was no needs analysis required, so my worry is that the fund will go to already established organisations and any community-based groups won’t get a look in.
If anyone has any information or news about who is going through to the next round, it would be great to find out more about which organisations are involved.
