The Arts Council
 

The Arts Council has an incredibly informative website - www.artscouncil.org.uk

A detailed area map of the UK to find out the type of funding others have secured and application forms that are downloadable straight from the site.

Think carefully about the type of Grant you want to apply for - what it is ~ where it will be ~ who will have access to it ~ who will benefit from it's use ~ Will you invite the wider community in to use it - by asking/inviting other groups to perform/take part in activities ?

Full eligibility details can be read but remember to read them with an open mind ~ seek others thoughts on the project you would like funding for - as they may see a use for it that you may think would barr you from applying !

If in doubt ask :D ! Friends, family and the Arts Council !!
