End of Grant Report
Successful applicants to the ‘Hydro’ Fund are required to submit an End of Grant Report with a financial overview. Your Report should explain what was involved in undertaking your Project, including challenges, setbacks, successes and outcomes you achieved. It is said that ‘A picture paints a thousand words’, so do think about how you can use images, video and other creative means to record and illustrate the journey and the outcomes of your Project.
