News & Developments

We specifically want to fund activities that will reduce demand on statutory health and social care services.

The grant is designed to support projects that reduce dependency on social care and health services such as GPs, A and E and in-patient settings. 

This means that the funding can be used to help create new self-care services such as peer support, social connections and physical activities where there is a local gap; or build the capacity of existing self-care services experiencing high levels of demand from health services, social care or the new Community Navigation service run by The Bureau 

The deadline for Round 2 is Wednesday 20 June at 4pm.

To find out more about the grants and how to apply you could also attend one of our information workshops on: Tuesday 15 May 2pm – 3.30pm or 6pm-7.30pm. If you would like to book a place please email: Rebecca@the-bureau.org.uk

Alternatively, if you are ready to apply and want some advice on how to present your activities in the best possible way please contact Liz Fletcher at High Peak CVS: lizsgp@highpeakcvs.org.uk telephone 01663 736426

ACE has launched Developing your Creative Practice, a new £14.4m fund specifically designed to support independent creative practitioners. The programme is unlike any other current Arts Council fund, because it will give practitioners time to work on ambitious and innovative projects, without the immediate pressure of showing their work publicly. Recipients will be able to use the funding to support periods of research, to develop new work and ideas, work internationally, and for training, networking or mentoring.

£3.6 million will be available annually for four years for Developing your Creative Practice. Applicants will be able to apply for grants from £2, 000 to £10,000 from 12 April 2018.
