8 Extensions due to underspend

How to request an extension if you have not spent your funding within the agreed time period.

Extensions may be requested where you have not spent all available funds at the end of your agreement period.

You must submit your request for an extension to us six weeks in advance of your agreement ending (for agreements that start on 1 June 2022, this would mean submitting your request by 18 April 2025). No additional funds will be made available during the period of extension. This includes the funding of consumable items and any uplift for new members joining the group.
