Funding and support
The Arts Service aims to support and promote a wide range of activities and events, provide information about sources of arts funding, and offer advice about other available resources and help in making arts funding applications. We can also help with planning and coordinating arts activities and events for local festivals and galas.
If you would like advice and support to implement your own programme, please contact the Arts Service.
