FAQs Pathway 2 2024
Yes, you can make changes to your project while it’s running, if needed. These changes fall into two types:
a. Project Change Requests
These are changes to how the project is managed — for example, updating the main contact or legal representative.
- You must let Taith know as soon as possible by emailing a signed PDF letter on headed paper to support@taith.wales
Other types of project changes include:
- Project extensions – must be requested at least 60 days before the project end date.
- Consortium changes – also need approval from Taith.
All of these should be submitted by email to support@taith.wales
b. Activity Change Requests
These are changes to the planned activities within your project.
- You should record these in the change request proforma in your reporting folder at least 30 days before the activity takes place.
- Taith will review the proforma regularly and let you know if the change is approved or if more information is needed.
As evidence for all subsistence and travel, for all participants
To prove travel and subsistence costs for all participants (whether travelling outward or inward to Wales), you need a signed and dated attendance certificate, declaration, or statement. This should be completed on the last day of the mobility by the sending or receiving organisation. It must include the participant’s name, the purpose of the activity, and the confirmed start and end dates. A template is available here.For Green Travel, Exceptional Costs (2022 only), and Inclusion Support, you must get approval from Taith using the Additional Funding request process. These are actual costs and must be backed up with a valid receipt or similar proof — otherwise, Taith won’t pay for them.
We understand it can be hard to collect certain evidence for participants who need extra funding. If you can’t get the usual documents, you’ll need to explain how your organisation identifies participants from disadvantaged backgrounds. This could be a confirmation from a wellbeing or pastoral care team. If your organisation doesn’t have one, you’ll need a certificate signed by the Taith project lead, the participant, and their parent or carer (if relevant).
Requests for additional funding can be made to Taith for Green Travel and Inclusion Support, before a mobility takes place and no more than 30 after a mobility takes place. The application form and guidance to apply for additional funding can be found in the ‘Additional funding’ section of the Grant Recipient area.
A list of costs considered eligible under each cost category can be found in section 4.0 of the Operational Handbook. The Taith definition of eligible costs under each category are shown below:
Project Management and Implementation – A contribution to costs to enable the activity to take place.
Dissemination – A contribution to the costs of sharing and disseminating the project output across the sector(s) within Wales and internationally.
Translation – A contribution to the costs of translation related to the production and dissemination of the project output.
None of the lists above are exhaustive, but staff costs are not eligible under any of the above categories.
Staff costs – This is a contribution to the staffing costs required to enable the project to take place. Staff costs are calculated on a daily rate. Details of the daily rates per staff category can be found in the Pathway 2 Programme Guide.
For Pathway 2 2024 onward, there will be no cap on the amount of funding that can be allocated to each cost category, and as such, costs can be moved between categories as necessary to facilitate the running of your project. Funding in the Staff Costs category can only be used for staffing costs directly related to the development, creation, and dissemination of the project output.
