Please note: Forever Notts is transitioning to a new platform for all new programme rounds. As part of the new platform, we now have a new Fundseeker Portal for all application forms and monitoring reports. The Fundseeker Portal requires you to set up a login to complete application forms. If you have applied to us previously, the system should pull across your details, and you will need to check them when setting up your login and when completing new applications. On the portal, you will have your own separate area to access available funds, your applications, and any future monitoring requirements.
Should you need any help accessing the portal or completing an application form, please get in touch.
