Funding for Creative Activities\u00a0<\/span><\/strong><\/h2>\n

The Small Grants Fund<\/em> is a Creative Scotland programme, within their Youth Arts Fund, that will deliver artist led projects working with groups in learning communities, early years providers, youth projects and other family support or community settings. It also aims to support the network of art practitioners who have lost valuable work during Coivid-19<\/span><\/span><\/h4>\n

\"\"<\/a><\/p>\n

A partnership between the Scottish Borders Council’s educational Creative Learning Network <\/em>and YouthBorders will distribute \u00a342,000 of funds to deliver innovative opportunities that will enable young people to discover new ways of making, through activities in music, visual art or image making.\u00a0 We want our young people to create and be creative; through\u00a0 hands-on immersive approaches, that reinforces their confidence and helps them visualise some new perspectives for themselves.<\/p>\n

Working across the regions five locality areas we will support local learning and community plans, focusing on those young people who would not normally have access to or the opportunity to take part in these types of activity.<\/p>\n

We have set out some of the Ambitions for the project at the bottom of this page.<\/p>\n
