As part of our commitment to our Equality, Diversity and Inclusion [see our EDI action plan], the IGNITE Network+ is pleased to announce a Carer/ Hardship Fund, which will provide funding to support network full members with some of the costs associated with attendance at IGNITE Network+ conference, events and activities, this can be in person or virtual. Applications will be judged on their individual merits, but this might include support towards travel, overnight accommodation costs; caring costs (e.g. childcare, or to support care of elderly or disabled adult relatives) and/or support for those with accessibility needs (travel, audio-visual, personal help).

You must join the network as a full member to be eligible to apply for the carer / hardship fund. There is no charge for membership.

Funds are usually reimbursed but in special circumstances advanced payment may be possible.

The IGNITE Network Programme Manager, Claire Scott will manage the applications and the  University of Strathclyde finance team will arrange for payments to be made to successful applicants.
