As a condition of funding, all award holders must produce a written report of their project, which meets the standards set out in the Report Writing Guidelines.    Award holders should read the full Guidelines and may also find the Summary Guidance a useful source of reference.

The report is due in November in the year in which the project is completed.  

Award holders will only be paid the final 20% of their funding if, at its meeting in the spring term following completion of the project, the Lord Rootes Memorial Fund Committee judges that the report is satisfactory and meets the standards set out in the Guidelines.  

Accounting statement 

The report must contain an accounting statement that explains how the award was spent.  The statement should show:

• the estimated project costs, as set out in the financial plan in the original application;
• a breakdown of the actual project costs.

You should submit with your report all receipts that you have retained in relation to your project.  The receipts do not need to be scheduled or itemised in any way - loose in an envelope (with your name and the title of your project on the front) is fine.
