Plea to CIN Applicants

CVS Stirling is responsible for administering the Children in Need fund across the Forth Valley area, and processes over 300 applications each year. 

 

While the great majority of applications are fine, a few turn out to be incomplete or inadequate. Common faults are not giving full, accurate information about the recipient’s bank account, and not entering the client’s post code (essential). This can mean delays - delays in getting funds to where they’re needed. So please help us to help you by

 

- reading the guidance notes carefully before applying

- checking the form to make sure it’s complete

 

However, the most common problem is failure to produce receipts, as required by the conditions of award. This involves us wasting a lot of time chasing them up, so please obtain and return receipts - and keep Pudsey happy!
