Funding to Support Crafts, Heritage & Classical Music Projects (UK)

Applications are now open for grants of up to £7,500 to support heritage, crafts and music projects across the UK through the Radcliffe Trust.

The Trust, one of Britain's oldest charities, provides funding through two schemes. Its Heritage & Crafts Scheme offers grants generally ranging from £2,500 to £7,500, while its Music Scheme offers £2,500 to £5,000.

Heritage funding supports traditional craft skills, conservation, training and emerging craftspeople. Music funding supports classical music performance and education, particularly chamber music, composition, youth orchestras and activities for people with additional needs.

Applications are accepted from organisations, including community interest companies, charitable incorporated organisations and other not-for-profit groups. Individuals cannot apply directly.
