Moving with the times

The grant has been used . . for funning expenses Our programme follows the principles of the Treaty of Waiting We would lie to thank the Trustees for their consideration of this application “The five primary schools in our area are rated decibel one to decibel three.” from a community radio station for a grant towards strategic planning:   “Over the last seven years it has become clear that some of the objectives of the Trust require fine-tuning . .” "If you are happy with this we will fix a small plague to the stands with 'Kindly donated by the J R McKenzie Trust' or whatever you think is suitable." Our purpose for applying for a grant is to help pay for wages and overheads, as well as enable us to provide an excessive standard of professional services to clients . . . “
