i-VMS Deadline April 2023
i-VMS Units become mandatory in April
If you don’t yet have a unit installed and need help funding the device, you can become a member of Commsave who could loan funds to pay for the device. To set up an account, use the link below:
https://commsave.co.uk/forms/sign-up
or call Commsave 0303 0402 660
You will require a minimum saving of £2 per week or £10 per month.
The Fishing Animateurs can help you to claim the I-VMS grant of up to £650.
They will need a few items from you. You can only claim the grant once you have had it installed and paid for. You need to collect together the following documents-
- Invoice for the device and installation.
- Your bank statement showing the transaction – this must show either your name or other identifiable information.
- Device serial number (or take a photo of the numbers on the device)
- Device manufacturer name.
- Proof of ID if a sole trader – driving licence, passport or a utility bill.
If you have any queries please call Fishing Animateurs on 01736 362782 or email info@fishinganimateur.co.uk
