THREE PEOPLE MADE APPLICATIONS FOR GRANTS FROM THE PRINCE'S TRUST....

2. Three people made applications for grants from the Prince's Trust. Read their summaries about

what they want to achieve. Which is the best application? Why?

a)

I'm going on holiday to Ibiza in four weeks. Before I go, I want to earn some cash. My

idea is to clean people's windows in the neighborhood. My mate, Dave, has got a van, but

we haven't got any ladders. Does the Prince's Trust pay for things like that?

b)

I dance in an Irish folk that is based in North London. We are giving a charity performance

for the local old people's home at the end of the month and we need new shoes. There are

twenty-four of us. Can you help?

c)

I have completed a three-year course in computer skills and web design and I have gained

some work experience in the UK, Holland and the USA. I would like to apply for a grant to

set up an international employment agency on the world wide web. This agency would

specialize in finding jobs for young people who want to gain work experience abroad. To

do this, I need to rent an office, buy computer hardware and software and employ one

person as a marketing manager. Please see my detailed business plan attached. I believe

there is a big market for the kind of services my company would provide and I would be

grateful if you could give serious consideration to my application.
