This is chance you’ve been waiting for!

The next funding round for the Creative Communities Scheme is now open and we’re super excited to see what creative and community-centred initiatives we can give a boost in 2026. 

We’re looking for projects that encourage participation within the local community, support diversity or enable young people under 18 to get involved with the arts.

There are two funding rounds annually - the current one opened on Monday 2 February and will be open for five weeks until Monday 9 March. Check out the grant and see stories from past successful applicants here.
