In light of the current national lockdown, Biffa Award, managed by RSWT, is continuing to make some adjustments to the way that we work. To protect the health, safety and welfare of our staff in these unprecedented times our offices remain closed and all staff continue to work from home. They remain contactable by telephone or email: Rachel Maidment: 01636 670051 or rmaidment@wildlifetrusts.org; Katrina Dines: kdines@wildlifetrusts.org, Aunjna Jani: 01636 677711 or ajani@wildlifetrusts.org and Marie Williamson: 01636 670081 or mwilliamson@wildlifetrusts.org

The changing circumstances of the Covid-19 virus and the information recently received from the Prime Minister means that once again organisations delivering work on the ground may be affected. Please be assured that we are here to help and are happy to extend project deadlines, delay reporting against milestones or making claims for any project expenditure incurred.

For projects currently working to meet conditions, please do keep up the hard work. Biffa Award will not withdraw any offer of conditional funding due to the current situation. We understand that there will be delays going forward and not all deadlines are now achievable; the team will continue to support you as much as possible throughout the process and we would like to issue you with a Formal Offer as quickly as possible.

Finally, Biffa Award will continue to receive and process Expressions of Interest and Full Applications for our Main Grant Schemes.

Please be assured that we are here to help and should you wish to discuss any issues, please do not hesitate to make contact with one of the team.
