Decision Making Process
• LCF recruit an independent panel for each fund, liaising with the fund-holders and other relevant partners. We work to ensure that our decision panels are fair and diverse.
• The panel’s role is to bring an understanding of local and strategic issues. Final decisions are agreed by a majority vote.

Reporting and Evaluation
• Complete an end of grant report showing what you have achieved, what you have learned, what the health outcomes have been and how you know this.
