Are funding programmes within the United Kingdom offering grants considered free money?

Some may consider the grants offered by funding programmes within the United Kingdom to be free money because the recipient does not need to pay them back. However, that is not the full story. Despite grants not being paid back, there remain conditions on how the money must be spent so such funding is not the same as being totally free. Be sure to check all conditions when receiving funding from the United Kingdom in the form of grants to ensure you are compliant with such terms.
