The CC application form (http://www.charitycommission.gov.uk/Library/ publications/pdfs/cc5atext.pdf) asks, for charities which do not yet have statutory accounts, for the "estimated gross income in the first year of operation". The accompanying guidance notes (http:// www.charitycommission.gov.uk/Library/publications/pdfs/cc5btext.pdf) go on to say state that "If you do not provide evidence that the gross annual income will exceed £5,000, such as ... a pledge of funding ... we will return your application as incomplete"
Hopefully we'll have these by the time the bid is decided.
