Funding for organisations

For those who are interested in projects but concerned about finances, here are some ideas for making workshops more affordable….

Multiple workshops
If you are interested in a series of projects with the same group the cost per session is greatly reduced when booked at the same time. Multiple projects (booked at the same time) with different performers also receive discounts.

Joint projects
If you require a project for a small group of students — for example Standard Grade or Highers project — why not join up with a neighbouring school who study the same syllabus? The cost of the workshop can then be spilt between the participating schools.

Area wide projects

If an ensemble has a number of workshops in the same area on a particular day, this will also bring down the cost o the project. Why not discuss projects with nearby schools - primary and secondary?

If you are interested in a project but are concerned about the cost - please get in touch, as we may be able to help arrange partnerships with other schools.

Pupil contributions

Some schools ask their pupils to contribute to the cost of a workshop, instead of going on a school trip. 

Local Authorities
Some local authorities give grants for Arts projects - contact your local Arts Development Officer for more information.
