i flaked out from coming to moot, but instead decided to make a start on the APE application<br>
<br>
these are the main questions we need to answer - please send comments direct to me<br>
<br>
<br>
a) What you will be doing<br>
<br>
opening a space near to the proposed kingsnorth power station that can act as a hub for activists from outside the area and an outreach / information centre for local people interested in the campaign<br>
<br>
b) How it is connected to climate change<br>
<br>
the space will be base for action to stop the building of a coal fired power station.<br>
<br>
c) What you hope to achieve<br>
<br>
to build a strong local movement that will help prevent the building of kingsnorth power station and a base that will help support activists from elsewhere.<br>
<br>
d) A timeline<br>
<br>
this bid is for an initial 6 months, it is hoped that the space will be able to raise funds itself when it is established<br>
<br>
e) Details of partners<br>
none<br>
<br>
f) Short summary budget outlining expected staff, materials, and overheads (this need not be a fully detailed budget).<br>
<br>
Month 1 : deposit £1,000-£1,500, rent £1,000-£1,500, misc setup £500<br>
Month 2 : rent £1,000-£1,500, bills £200<br>
Month 3 : rent £1,000-£1,500, bills £200<br>
Month 4 : rent £1,000-£1,500, bills £200<br>
Month 5 : rent £1,000-£1,500, bills £200<br>
Month 6 : bills £400<br>
<br>
This should come to somewhere between £8,300 and £12,200 as the worse case scenario.<br>
<br>
<br>
2. What type is your organisation e.g. non-government organisation, registered charity (give number), academic institution etc:<br>
Non hierachical grassroots organisation<br>
<br>
<br>
<br>
About your project<br>
<br>
1. Please write a summary of your project in a maximum of 150 words to describe its purpose, activities, proposed outcomes and location<br>
<br>
Climate camp intends to rent a space near to the proposed coal fired power station at kingsnorth in kent to act as a hub for activists from all over the country and as an outreach / information point to get local people involved.<br>
<br>
<br>
<br>
2.What is the start date of you project?<br>
When a suitable property can be found<br>
<br>
3. What is the total budget of the project?<br>
between £8,300 and £12,200<br>
<br>
4.When do you need funds by?<br>
£1200-£1700 each month for 5 months, then £400 for the 6th month<br>
<br>
5. Will the project still go ahead if under-funded, and it what form? Yes, but it will severely limit the other things climate camp can do this year<br>
<br>
6. How long will your project run? Initial 6 months, then hopefully ongoing funded by methods established in the initial period<br>
<br>
7. Do you have other funding for this project? If so, who are your other funders?<br>
no<br>
8. Who else is being approached for funding?<br>

Hiya Neil,<br>
<br>
Was thinking about goint to the moot, but decided to spend some time trying to get my life in order slightly. But yeah, I'm about on Tuesday afternoon. We had a chat about APE funding at the London meeting last week, and someone who apparently knows them said its probably best to submit seperate applications for various projects. we can talk more on tuesday.<br>
<br>
have fun at the moot!<br>

Hey Chris!<br>
<br>
Marina has suggested having a look at this at the earth first moot this<br>
weekend in Brighton... will you be around for that? If not I've got to<br>
come up to London on Tuesday to meet my solicitor at lunchtime & was<br>
planning on dropping in on the London CC meeting in the evening...<br>
are you<br>
around at all on Tues to start looking at this face-to-face? If not are<br>
you around next week to meet up? Also, given that the international wg<br>
want to apply for funding we should think about how best to synthesise<br>
these proposals for funding.<br>
<br>
Cheers,<br>
Neil<br>
