Elmley Community Arts Fund

This programme is for community groups in Herefordshire and Worcestershire planning arts events or purchases.  A community group is a non-profit promoter, not performers, that operates within a specific community or geographical area in Herefordshire or Worcestershire, aiming to address local arts needs and improve the opportunities and well-being of its residents.

There are two funds:

1. Events and Activities: grant up to £2,000

2. Arts Equipment: grant up to £1,000

You can apply to either fund using the online form –
