Funding of £750,000 – £1m is available to fund projects for a 3 year period from April 2022 to March 2025.
Funding is directed to those areas where cultural engagement is the lowest in the country – of the 109 areas eligible, 70 of these are in the North and Midlands. You can view the full list of eligible areas here.

Applications open on the 6th April, and close on the 11th June.
