The 2023-24 CIF funding applications for academies, sixth form colleges and voluntarily aided (VA) schools are closing next month. With the deadline for registration approaching at the end of November, a limited time remains to apply for capital grants, essential to education establishments around the UK.

PermaRoof Commercial is offering support at the application stage, providing structural surveys and subsequent evidence of works required. This is a not-to-be-missed opportunity for facilities to work towards future-proofing roofing systems. Applications are rigorously assessed against three criteria – project need, cost and project planning. This is where working with a reputable specialist supplier can bring the most benefits to the application process.

Sunny Lotay, national commercial manager at PermaRoof Commercial, explains: “The CIF provide essential funds for vital building work across schools and colleges, however, like most funding applications, the process isn’t always straightforward. A little-known fact is that suppliers can actually support at the application stage, providing relevant structural surveys and evidence of the work required, which in turn can strengthen an application against thousands of others.

By choosing to work with a reputable specialist to support an application, the project requirements, planning and costing will all have been outlined by roofing experts. This gives extra authority and structure to the CIF application submitted, which will increase the likelihood of receiving funding. It makes sense, therefore, to enlist the services of a supplier sooner rather than later.”
