A new fund has been launched to support cultural heritage projects across Belfast. It is anticipated that the fund will provide ten small grants of up to £10,000 and five project grants up to £30,000. Can you please promote this on your website and via social channels to help spread the word.
The fund is open for applications from Belfast based cultural and community organisations for projects that create opportunities for stories to be discovered, retold or imagined and for skills to be developed.
