It has been a bit windy out over the past dew days eh? Never mind – with the ANS 2025 Grant Programme about to launch you’ll have the perfect excuse to stay indoors with a cuppa and dream up your next project idea.
Once again we’re offering our Members up to £1,000 (this can rise up to £1,500 if you wish to partner with another ANS Member) to support your creative work. Whether you want to apply to run an open project, to support your professional development, or to work with a community group new to ANS – we want to hear from you.
Full details on eligibility and how to apply are available to download from our website – and here are some key dates for your diary too. You’ll be able to apply online from Monday 10th February with the deadline for applications set at 5pm on Friday 7th March. We look forward to seeing you at one of the upcoming socials, and we can’t wait to see your ideas!
Please note the coffee morning socials listed below are drop in sessions. Just turn up, grab a coffee or a tea on us, and join in. The evening gathering at Shinner and Sudtone is free to attend and also includes a welcome drink on us. Please register for this here so we know how many people to expect – thanks!
