Make A Splash! offers grants to small voluntary groups that want to try something new, to help even more people discover how good it feels to take part in arts and crafts activity.

Grants of £250 to £2,000 are available to help pay for a wide range of things, including equipment, publicity, venue hire, staff time, volunteer training or materials. The main requirement is that the money helps create new opportunities for more people to actively participate in creative activities and to keep them involved.

Unfortunately, the programme is coming to an end and although there are no interim deadlines, the programme will close on 31st March 2012 and no applications will be accepted after this date. To find out more about the Make a Splash! programme and how to apply please click here.
