Maxed at a grant of £12,000 or £30k spend.
I didn't word that very well :oops:
Is this window in 2020 a new batch of grants that everyone can apply for again or is it a continuation of this batch? This one is in round 5 or 6 now I think will this one in 2020 be round 1 of a new batch of grants or round 6/7 of this batch? Seems a long way away to be round 6 or 7 or whatever of this batch of grants. I hope that makes more sense...
Asking as someone who reached his limit on round 2 and wished he had been able to get more stuff :whistle:

What FC said to me was that as long as I hadn’t gone over the £12k of grant I could use up until that amount was reached.
Thankfully what I want is under £3k gross and I don’t want to have to spend £7.5k to get it if it’s a new grant, if that’s the case i’d Be better off paying without a grant now.

Is there going to be a sixth round? As I understood it there were only supposed to be four but because of poor uptake they had extra cash left over so had another round (5)?

Just give the girls a ring at FC in Aberystwyth or wherever and they'll give you all the up to date answers instead of every man and his dawg having a stab at it. (y)

Hi. just getting ready to submit my FBG claim, does anyone know the approx. timescale for payment from Welsh assembly government. I know that they can take as long as they want but it would be nice to know an approx. timescale.
