Funding to Encourage Participation in Folk Singing (England)
Groups and individuals in England can apply for grants of up to £1,000 to deliver events and activities that encourage participation in folk singing.
The funding will support events that increase and diversify participation, particularly amongst groups that are currently marginalised or underrepresented in England's folk scene.
Two funding streams are available:
- Starting a new group, intended for new organisers
- Developing access in an existing group, for groups who are interested in making changes to the events they already run
Six new groups and six existing groups will be supported.
The types of costs that could be supported include:
- venue hire
- promotional materials
- structural changes to an established venue
- paying musicians or organisers themselves
The funding is made available through the Access Folk Small Project Grants programme which closes to applications on the 31st May 2024.
