Making folk dance accessible
Application deadline: THURSDAY 25 JANUARY 2024, 9AM
We are delighted to offer our third round of folk dance mini grants to support varied activities.
We are seeking proposals from individuals and groups / organisations who need support for one of the following:
- to embark on a new folk dance project (or who have recently started a folk dance project within the last 6 months)
- to develop something new within an existing dance activity (for example to make it more accessible to a wider range of participants)
Five grants of £500 will be offered to help cover the costs of developing and running these events or projects.
Projects can take place anywhere in England.
We are seeking to support activity which will increase access to folk dance for people with diverse backgrounds and needs, in relation to one or more of the following characteristics: age, disability, gender reassignment, marriage and civil partnership, pregnancy and maternity, race, religion or belief, sex, sexual orientation, and social or economic status.
