A small grants fund has been set up to support organisations to participate in To Absent Friends, a people’s festival of storytelling and remembrance, running 1-7 November 2017.
We are particularly keen to support small organisations to undertake local activities that provide public opportunities for storytelling and/or remembrance of people who have died.
Some ideas of relevant activities members might wish to undertake are listed on the To Absent Friends website, but we also recognise that approaches to this are likely to be varied, and therefore encourage creative and innovative ideas that are appropriate to local groups and communities.
The maximum sum available through the small grants programme is £250.
The deadline for receipt of completed applications is Wednesday 23 August 2017. (We will aim to inform applicants of whether or not they have been successful by the end of August.)
A short grant application form and guidance notes for applicants are provided below.
