Included within the text of the form, under the 'Additional Information' heading, should be a short paragraph of support from the sponsor, giving the reasons for their nomination.
Please include the full postal address, including post code, and an email address for the nominator and referees. If none is available please insert a@b.com. Referee reports are a crucial part of the decision process. So that we can elicit your referees’ comments speedily, please ensure that you give all the correct contact details and, particularly where work details are provided, that your referees can be reached at the address given at the time of submission.
The trustees usually meet 4 times a year. When planning your submission, please bear in mind that it can take several weeks to gather the information required before it can be considered, therefore please allow sufficient time for the decision process.
