1 Support and Connect Project and outcome examples The aim of this document is to support you whilst you develop your application to Support and Connect. We assess applications against the following: o The proposed project outcomes meet an identified need and help achieve the Support and Connect outcomes. o The applicant organisation can manage the project well and achieve the proposed outcomes.
