NDA group Socio-Economic Grant Funding Programme: Applicants Guidance

Updated 21 October 2024

1. Introduction

This guidance is intended for people who wish to apply to NDA ^{[footnote 1]}group for socio-economic funding. It provides information on both the application and decision-making process.  

The approach described in this document will help applicants to understand:

1. What the NDA group socio-economic programme is and why it exists.
2. What we will and will-not fund through our socio-economic programme.
3. How to apply for funding.
4. Measures and targets to report progress.
5. How and why NDA group makes its funding decisions.
6. Things you will be expected to do if you are successful in obtaining funding.
7. Other legal and regulatory matters.
8. Roles and Responsibilities

2.What the NDA group socio-economic programme is and why it exists.

The Energy Act (2004) provides the NDA with the unique legal duty to have regard for the impact of its activities on communities living near its sites, as well as the wider responsibilities all public bodies have under the Social Value act (2012).

The NDA’s function in this regard is underwritten in s.10(2)c of the Energy Act, which states: ‘the powers of the NDA include, in particular, power to make grants or loans to persons undertaking activities that benefit the social or economic life of communities living near designated installations, designated sites or designated facilities or that produce other environmental benefits for such communities’.

To this end, the NDA group operates a grant-giving programme which is managed in partnership with our Operating Companies.

Our Social Impact and Communities Strategy (2024) sets out a framework for our grant-giving programme including identification of our priority areas. It has been drawn up in consultation with local authorities and other key stakeholders and sets our main priorities.

The funding provided by the NDA through our grant-giving is intended to ensure that our decommissioning work leaves a positive long-lasting legacy in our local communities. To do this, we fund projects which align with the following strategic themes:

• Resilient economies – enabling and supporting the conditions for local economic output, improved productivity, and growth.
• Thriving communities – enabling and supporting the conditions for social cohesion, supporting disadvantaged groups and other social benefits.
• Sustainable incomes –improving aspirations and access to work through a programme of high impact education, skills, personal development and employability support activities.
• Sustainable growth - reflecting the importance of the climate agenda and working to achieve economic, social and competitive advantage for our nuclear communities by integrating sustainable growth into our socio-economic interventions.
• Social value chains – working closely with our suppliers to create social impacts with our supply chain.
• Collective impact - leveraging social impact and investment by working with our stakeholders, partners and communities to practice an integrated approach and culture of delivery.

3.What we will and will-not fund through our socio-economic programme.

This guidance covers three categories of funding:                                                        

• Small projects – NDA group contribution up to £10,000.
• Medium projects – NDA group contribution between £10,000 and £200,000.
• Large projects – NDA group contribution over £200,000.

Our funding principles apply to all three of these categories, but we apply our governance proportionately.

3.1 Eligibility for funding

We will only support projects that are near one of our sites. This is generally defined as the district council area where the site is located and, where sites are close to authority boundaries, the neighbouring district council:

• Berkeley (Gloucestershire)
• Bradwell (Maldon)
• Chapelcross (Dumfries and Galloway)
• Dounreay (Caithness and North Sutherland area of Highland)
• Dungeness A (Folkestone & Hythe)
• Harwell (Vale of White Horse)
• Hinkley Point A (Somerset covering Sedgemoor, Somerset West & Taunton)
• Hunterston (North Ayrshire)
• Low Level Waste Repository (LLWR) (Cumberland - formerly Copeland)
• Oldbury (South Gloucestershire)
• Sizewell A (East Suffolk)
• Sellafield (Cumberland - formerly Copeland and Allerdale)
• Trawsfynydd (Gwynedd)
• Winfrith (Dorset)
• Wylfa (Isle of Anglesey)

“Additionally projects close to the Sellafield office at Risley, Warrington may be funded under the Sellafield Social Impact Multiplied (SiX) programme”.

Within these geographical restrictions, the NDA group can fund organisations provided they are compliant with subsidy control rules and are one of the following:

• Constituted community/voluntary/charity groups - local branches of national charities are only eligible if money raised is spent locally.
• State funded education providers or pre-school groups (outside of statutory provision or the obligations of other public authorities or departments).
• Public sector bodies.
• A company. We reserve the right to take or require legal advice before determining eligibility for companies.

The NDA group cannot fund private individuals.

NDA will not accept applications from organisations that previously received NDA group funding and failed to comply with our conditions (e.g. completion of end of project reports, evidencing spend).

3.2 What we can fund

All funding is allocated via an application process. It is important that applications provide a clear explanation of what a project is, what it seeks to deliver and what benefits will be gained from funding a project. Full details of costs, timescales and delivery plans are required for us to make good investment decisions.

The NDA can provide funding for both capital and revenue elements of projects subject to clear explanation of how funding will be used being provided in the application.

The NDA will consider funding feasibility studies and work to develop business cases for large projects where an application demonstrates clear links to strategic priorities and future delivery potential.

In common with much of the public sector, the NDA works within annual budget allocations. The NDA may consider multi-year commitments where there is a clear and robust business case with a delivery profile spanning multiple years, and subject to future budget availability.

3.3 What we cannot fund

The following activities are ineligible for funding:

• Spend that does not meet project objectives.
• Spend on benefits delivered outside of our geographical boundaries.
• Religious or political benefits.
• Aims that are contrary to UK Government policy.
• Paid for lobbying:
  • which means using grant funds to fund lobbying (via an external firm or in-house staff) in order to undertake activities intended to influence or attempt to influence Parliament, Government or political activity; or attempting to influence legislative or regulatory action.
  • using grant funds to directly enable one part of government to challenge another on topics unrelated to the agreed purpose of the grant.
  • using grant funding to petition for additional funding.
• Expenses such as for entertaining, specifically aimed at exerting undue influence to change government policy.
• VAT that you can recover.
• Activities that other organisations (eg Local Authority/Local Education Authority/National Charities) have an obligation and/or statutory duty to provide.
• Payments for works or activities which the grant recipient, or any member of their Partnership has a statutory duty to undertake, or that are fully funded by other sources.
• Sponsorships to individuals or groups and other activities raising money for 3rd parties.
• Loan payments.
• Interest payments or service charge payments for finance leases.
• National charities where funding is collected and administered centrally, exceptions may be made where local branches raise and spend their own funding.
• Hospitality, awards, sponsorships or the purchase of tables at events.
• Prizes or associated costs for fundraising events.
• Retrospective expenditure.
• Gifts.
• Statutory fines, criminal fines or penalties.
• Bad debts
• Payments for unfair dismissal or other compensation.

4. How to apply for funding.

Before completing a funding application we encourage applicants to discuss their project with the Socio-Economic Team in the relevant Operating Company.  Contact details can be found on our website:  www.gov.uk/government/collections/working-with-our-communities

As a publicly funded body it is important that we apply good governance and demonstrate that our funding is used effectively. All projects need to be supported by an application for funding. This will normally be done via the online application portal. If you are unable to use this facility, please discuss this with your local Socio-Economic team.

The level of information required from applicants is proportionate to the amount of funding requested. For this reason there are three application forms covering small, medium and large funding requests.

For medium and large grants, the NDA group is required to perform due diligence checks on all applicants. Applicants will be required to submit 3 years of accounts (where available) to support their application.

4.1 Small Applications

Small applications up to £10,000 require a shortened application form to be completed. This form fulfils the basic requirements for any project to be considered. This includes:

• Project summary
• Outputs
• Measures/targets
• Funding details
• Legal requirements/obligations

Details of what is required for each section can be found in the application form.

Applicants should note that end of project reporting and evidence of spend will be required for all projects. These requirements will be agreed when a grant offer is made.

Failure to comply with these requirements may result in funding being withheld and/or future applications for funding being rejected.

4.2 Medium applications

In addition to the basic project information described above, medium and large applications are required to follow the HM Treasury Green Book five case model. This requires an assessment of the following:

• Strategic case
• Economic case
• Commercial case
• Financial case
• Management case

Further information on each of the 5 cases can be found below:

4.3 Large applications

Large applications must provide the same information as required for medium projects with the addition of a full business case following the 5-case model. 

We expect a summary of the project to be included in the application form, plus a more detailed self-standing business case with appendices. You may wish to look at the HM Treasury general rules for project appraisal, sometimes known as the “Green Book”, https://www.gov.uk/government/publications/the-green-book-appraisal-and-evaluation-in-central-governent.

The Socio-Economic teams in each NDA Operating Company will be responsible for ensuring the completeness of applications before submission to the appropriate decision-making committee. We may require further evidence from the applicant and decide not to progress an application where there is insufficient information available.

4.4 HM Green Book 5 case model

The information below provides a summary of requirements for each of the 5 cases.

4.4.1 Strategic Case – Is the proposal needed?

The strategic case sets out why the funding you are applying for is needed and why the project you are seeking support for should go ahead. To assess the strategic case, the NDA group will assess your application and any additional evidence you provide which covers:

• The local need or opportunity your project is addressing.
• Whether your project is aligned with the NDA Social Impact and Communities Strategy (2024).
• What the project will do (outputs) and also what it is trying to achieve (outcomes).
• How you are measuring success.
• Levels of local support for your project and how this local support is expressed (for example financial support, in-kind, policy).
• How the project is consistent with, and ideally supports, national or local government strategies.

4.4.2 Economic Case – Is it value for money?

This Economic Case is designed to help us assess the economic costs and benefits of the project to the local community. It covers:

• Why NDA support is needed and what the likely economic/social/environmental impacts would be due to a lack of any support.
• Information to demonstrate why your organisation cannot fund the project itself.
• That other methods to achieve the same/similar outcomes have been ruled out.
• That you have thought about other ways to deliver the outcomes of your proposed project and have ruled them out for sensible reasons.
• How much of the expected outcomes might happen anyway without NDA support.

4.4.3 Commercial Case – Is it viable?

This is concerned with feasibility and sustainability and the effect of funding changes on deliverability. It should address any procurement required, such as the purchase of goods or services. It should clarify contractual questions, including contractual milestones and delivery dates.   It should set out who is responsible for agreed outputs. Risk management should also be included here. We are expecting to see:

• Evidence that the project is regarded as feasible and deliverable.
• Evidence that the organisation delivering the project is a sustainable, reliable partner.
• Clear and credible milestones and delivery dates.
• What (if any) procurement is required and is there a procurement strategy?
• Identification of risks and a plan to mitigate against them.
• Any major dependencies – in other words, whether the project is dependent on any decisions or events outside of the applicant’s control.
• Supporting evidence should be included to underpin any statements made.

4.4.4 Financial Case - Is it affordable?

The financial case is concerned with issues of affordability and sources of funding, including all expected costs. It also deals with contingencies and match-funding. The financial case sets out: 

• The proportion of funding the NDA is being asked to provide in relation to total cost of the project. The NDA encourages applicants to seek a minimum of 50% of the funding from other sources, unless there is strong evidence that no other funding is available.
• Whether match funding is secured from all parties.
• A clear justification if the NDA is first to commit funding.
• What contingencies are in place for cost-overruns.
• Breakdown of costs.

4.4.5 Management Case – Is it achievable?

The management case is concerned with deliverability. It sets out management responsibilities, governance and reporting arrangements, as well as any gate review and post-project review arrangements evidencing accountability. The NDA will look for evidence that:

• Detailed delivery plans are in place.
• There are appropriate gates or a staged process.
• There is a performance monitoring and reporting system.
• There are appropriate governance arrangements in place.
• The application includes relevant information on Equality, Diversity, and Inclusion issues:
  • Does the proposal actively seek to support under-represented     groups?
  • Is there a risk that it could be discriminatory?
• Environmental issues: whether the proposal actively seeks to make environmental improvements and whether there is a risk that it could be environmentally damaging.
• Does the proposal require project management techniques? Are those skills available to the applicant?
• What PR and communication is required? Has the applicant got the necessary skills?
• What post-project sustainability arrangements are in place?
• Is the applicant using auditors or any third-party assurance?

5. Measures and targets to report progress.

All projects funded by the NDA group should report on what they deliver. We ask our applicants to identify suitable measures from the standard set which is found in our grant application system. Applicants are asked to set and agree targets against which we can monitor and report on progress and achievements. 

The standard measures and descriptors can be found in appendix A.

6. How and why NDA group makes its funding decisions.

6.1 Small projects up to £10,000

NDA, NRS, Sellafield and NWS each have their own panels which make decisions to fund small projects.

Applicant submits project > Final decision by appropriate panel in Operating Company

6.2 Medium projects between £10,000 and £200,000

All medium-sized projects are assessed by an advisory panel managed by the relevant Operating Company. The final decision is taken by a person or committee with the appropriate delegated financial authority within the Operating Company.

Applicant  submits project > Considered by the OpCo panel > Final decision by delegated budget holder

6.3 Large project over £200,000

All large projects are assessed first by an advisory panel managed by the relevant Operating Company. If supported, the project then passes to a “One NDA Socio-economic panel” which brings together relevant representatives and experts from the NDA businesses. The panel is also advisory in nature. The final decision is then taken by a person or committee with the appropriate delegated financial authority within the Operating Company.

This single One NDA approach means that all decisions are made on the same basis across the estate.

Considered by the OpCo panel > Applicant  submits project > Considered by the One NDA panel > Final decision by delegated budget holder

6.4 Notification of a decision

Applicants will be notified in writing of the outcome of their application. If successful applicants will also receive a Grant Acceptance Letter (GAL) or Grant Acceptance Schedule (GAS) (depending on size of grant) which sets out the conditions of funding and requirements which need to be met. These are explained further below.  Applicants must accept the terms set out in the GAL/GAS in order for funding to be confirmed.

7. Things you will be expected to do if you are successful in obtaining funding.

If successful, you will receive a Grant Acceptance Schedule (GAS) along with your letter of award.

The GAS will clearly state the purpose for which the grant is awarded, provide details of approved activities, set out categories of eligible and ineligible expenditure, and establish reporting and evidence requirements. The GAS also sets out the legal and regulatory rules which apply to our grants. Applicants are required to accept the terms of the GAS and formally confirm this via a link sent out by email before any funding can be released.

Applicants will be required to submit regular progress reports. The exact requirements and timetable for reporting will be detailed in the GAS. Upon completion, all projects must submit an End of Project Report. Compliance with reporting requirements is mandatory for all projects.

Applicants are also required to provide evidence to show they have spent their grant appropriately. This will be both evidence of spend and evidence of delivery.

Evidence of spend would typically be an itemised list of spending (ie spreadsheet of invoices paid), for the whole project (not just NDA funded element), accompanied by a letter from the Chief Financial Officer, Chief Executive Officer or Fund Manager confirming that the funding has been spent as agreed.

To comply with audit requirements, additional evidence may be requested by NDA to support your claim.

Evidence of delivery may include formal reports, media, photographs, or site visits which demonstrate that delivery has been achieved.

The NDA reserves the right to withhold or clawback funding for projects that do not comply with reporting requirements and/or fail to provide evidence to show that the grant has been spent in accordance with the GAS.

8. Other Legal and Regulatory Matters

8.1 Subsidy Control Rules (formerly State Aid)

The NDA group is subject to the UK’s Subsidy Control Regime (formerly State Aid). As a result, applications will be considered in-light-of subsidy control rules, and applicants may be requested to provide further information in support of this assessment. Grants above the defined threshold will be recorded by the NDA Group on a publicly accessible database. 

Where grants cannot be made in compliance with these rules funding will not be provided. Where funding is subsequently found to breach Subsidy Control rules it may be recovered from the recipient organisation. More information on UK subsidy control can be found on GOV.UK.

8.2 Payment of Grants

Small applications are normally paid in advance of need, recognising that applicants are unlikely to have access to upfront cash flow with which to deliver projects. We will require copies of quotes for work to be submitted before we can release payments.

For medium and large applications, in accordance with ‘Managing Public Money’, it is expected that we will not normally make payment in advance of need. Where possible, we will seek to link the release of regular payments to the receipt of satisfactorily completed reports, with the submission of reports triggering the release of payments subject to validation.

By exception, and where there is justification, we may be able to consider payment in advance of need for larger projects to enable efficient delivery. This will be considered on a case-by-case basis and subject to governance.

8.3 Change control

Any changes to the scope of the project (i.e. repurposing of funding, changes to project end dates, or changes to milestones etc) require prior approval from the NDA. Approval must be sought via a Project Variance Form to be completed and submitted by the applicant. This will be reviewed by the relevant panel and the decision to approve or reject the request will be made in writing to the applicant.

Before submitting a Project Variance Form, we encourage applicants to discuss the issue with the fund manager in the relevant Operating Company.

8.4 GDPR

Our obligations under GDPR are detailed in the NDA Socio-Economic Privacy Notice.  All NDA Group Socio-Economic teams are required to comply with these GDPR obligations which can be found in Appendix B.
