How to apply
During the summer of 2026, we will hold a meeting to bring interested organisations together to network. We will then host workshops to develop partnerships and support the development of application(s) to the programme.
Application process
After this networking meeting, you will be guided through the application process. This involves 2 stages:
develop your project idea – apply for between £300 and £25,000 to develop your project idea
deliver your project – if you get development funding, you can then apply for between £100,000 and £1,800,000 to deliver your project
