Service changes over the festive period

The Funding Service helpdesk

Over the festive period the Funding Service helpdesk will close on 23 December 2024 at 5:00pm, and then reopen on 2 January 2025 at 8:30am.

Deadlines within the Funding Service

Deadlines for applicant responses, reviews and awards are automatically set, and this may coincide with the festive season.

To accommodate this, we have extended deadlines to 10 January 2025, unless otherwise agreed.

Please note that system deadlines and automated reminders based on the original deadlines may still be sent, you can disregard these notifications.

Application deadlines

There is no change to application deadlines.
