Grants of up to £4,000 are available to generate growth in arts, culture and heritage activity in the High Peak

The Borough Council is funding this grant scheme from its share of the UK Shared Prosperity and Rural England Prosperity Funds.

The aim of the programme is to generate growth by, for example, improving buildings where cultural activities take place, improving heritage assets, or purchasing equipment to support cultural activity.

No match funding is required and successful applicants will also be allocated a minimum of one working day with a freelance fundraiser with a specialism in the arts to help further growth and support resilience.

Council Leader, Councillor Anthony McKeown, said: "The High Peak has a long and proud association with the arts, heritage and culture which enrich our lives and our communities and are often a reason people come to visit.

"We want to strengthen the activities, groups and organisations that operate in this field so that they continue to thrive and grow and deliver the vibrant events and activities that so many of us enjoy.

"I'm delighted to be able to invite applications for these capital grants, along with specialist fundraising support, to help build resilience and ensure that the presence of arts and culture in our Borough endures for years to come."

Applications close on Monday 16 September.
