The following questions are intended to capture more specific information about your project: why you are doing it, what you hope to achieve through it, and what work you will do to carry it out.
Before answering these, you might find it helpful to look at the project planning toolkit and other resources we have available on the Advice and Resources section of our website. |

*What is the need or opportunity you are trying to address through this project, and how do you know it exists (e.g. any research or surveys you've carried out)?

What is the eventual goal of the project? What will be the ultimate change, difference or impact that you expect to see as a result of it?
For example: (N.B. This assumes further easing of lockdown measures which would make the group described possible)
To see more older members of our community who have become isolated as a result of the Coronavirus pandemic able to safely gather at our church for support and friendship, and to help enable those without online access to get online through practical advice, training and support to further reduce their sense of isolation.

List these things below, and if possible, please state a target date by which you aim to achieve each one - unless it will be an ongoing activity of some kind for which a target date isn't applicable - in which case please leave the date field empty.
