Themed funding
‘Themed funding’ to meet an ambitious, specific outcome is a new way of funding for the Trust. The requirements and details of each fund will differ and can usually be spent on core and project costs to achieve the outcomes of the funding round.
Please see below for details of current and past themed funding projects:
Accessibility Fund – Now closed
The Accessibility Fund supports projects that make indoor and outdoor spaces more accessible and welcoming for disabled people and people with mental health conditions.
The programme is currently closed but will reopen for applications in September.
If you’d like to learn more before it opens, download our Information for Potential Applicants PowerPoint. Please note that it was created for the first round of the programme, so some details may change, though we don’t expect any major changes.
