Section 1 will ask you to provide your charity registration number, this will be used to check information about your charity on the Charity Register. Charities need to demonstrate they are in good financial standing by showing a healthy level of reserves and recent accounts. If your charity is unable to demonstrate this, it will not be considered eligible at this stage. but you are welcome to re-apply at a later date once this has been rectified.

Sections 2-4 will ask you to self-declare information about the levels of insurance your charity has, as well as the processes and procedures you have in place. Answers given in this section will not affect your eligibility to apply for funding, however if you submit a full application, this information may be given more weighting and you may be asked to supply evidence of the information you have provided.

Section 5 will ask you to declare any conflict of interests. Charities applying for Energy Redress Scheme funding must have no close links to energy companies in Great Britain regulated by Ofgem. If your charity is unable to declare they have no such conflicts, they will not be eligible to apply for funding through this scheme.
