The Cultural Partnerships Team are keen to encourage and support schools and youth organisations who wish to provide exciting experiences, opportunities and activities that bring together creativity and learning to benefit the lives of children and young people. Recognising that transport costs are a real barrier to participating in cultural opportunities we have put in place the Get Moving Fund.

The fund is open to schools and organisations to aid participation for young people in creative learning experiences. It is available to support activity taking place between now and March 31st 2012 and applications should be made using the attached form.  Funding is available to cover transport costs up to a maximum of £250.

 The planned activity should meet at least one of the following Actions from the Cultural Strategy:-

• Action 2– Identifying the barriers to cultural participation and ways of overcoming them.
• Action 3– Encourage communities to maximise cultural opportunities to celebrate their strengths and their heritage.
• Action 5 – Increase access to participation in cultural activity and creative learning opportunities.

 Please note that the fund is limited and applications will be assessed on a first come first served basis.
