Overview

Funded projects will include creative arts projects that give community organisations the opportunity to develop small scale, new or innovative inclusive projects that will make a difference at local level.

Current fund priorities include projects that:

  • Are run by and for men
  • Are run by and for young mothers
  • Are for children
  • Promote the inclusion of new immigrant communities including multi-cultural events

In addition, community arts work being undertaken in areas of high disadvantage will be given priority. Only small scale projects will be considered – this grant is not intended to form a small part of a larger project.

Note: small grass roots groups will normally be prioritized over charities or organisations with high income and/or high financial reserves.
