Grants of up to £1,000 Available for Performing Arts Projects that Boost Audience Engagement (UK)

The Austin and Hope Pilkington Trust is currently accepting applications for its "Refugees and Asylum Seekers" grant programme. To be eligible, a project must focus exclusively on refugees and/or asylum seekers as its beneficiaries, without extending services to other groups.  

Funding is available for revenue costs (e.g. materials, activities) directly linked to the project. Salaries are not funded, unless the staff member is specifically employed for the project in question.

Organisations eligible to apply include UK-registered charities or organisations that are exempt from registration. The Trust does not give grants for any other type of not-for-profit organisation, social enterprise or community foundation.

Eligible charities can apply for a grant of £1,000 during Grant Round 3, which is open from 1st to 31st July 2025. To qualify, charities must have a minimum operating income and expenditure of £100,000.

Applications are submitted online through the Trust's website. Prospective applicants should first review the eligibility criteria and priorities to ensure their project aligns with the Trust's focus areas. A sample application form is available to guide applicants through the required information.

For any queries, the Trust can be contacted via email at admin@austin-hope-pilkington.org.uk .
