When you find yourself......
Staring at the screen wondering where to start....
Wondering how long it will take to complete this grant application -
and will it be worth it?
Worrying about all those other jobs you still have to do...
Concerned that volunteers are struggling to help as much as they once could....
When you start to mutter under your breath....
"Why do they want seven different versions of the same info"?
"Do they really read all 17 pages before awarding £250"?
"Just give me the flaming money!!!"
"Why do they ask for a 10 word answer when the question has 37 words?"
"I just haven't got time."
"Why do they always send the rejection email at 4.55pm on a Friday?"
"I'd rather tie my tooth to a door handle and slam it"
I've got better things to do than read a 10 page instruction document about how to set up our account. Dread to think what the application process is like..."
"Why doesn't anyone want to fund our running costs?"
