This round we have received a greater number of applications than ever before – word is spreading! The trustees have agreed to award 13 individuals in this round, with requests from a range of people who are committed to developing their skills and knowledge over a wide number of disciplines. Financial assistance is going to cellists, percussionists, an art therapist, an aspiring silversmith and many others. Details of some of our successful applicants and their work will be added to the news page soon.

Due to unforeseen circumstances the Trust will now be closed for applications until February 2026. That gives you plenty of time to get that application ready!
