Partnership Grants – these are grants to be used for to match fund project bids to partners such as The Arts Council. The application form and guidance notes will be on line from Jan 26^th 2015 and the cut off dates for applying are listed on the application form. The total pot available is approximately £2,500.

I know that these pots of money continue to be reduced and I can only apologise for this.
