🚨 Funding changes — but opportunity remains!

Arts Council England has paused DYCP until April 2026, but there’s now a new opportunity: R&D Grants for Individuals (£1,000–£30,000) within NLPG.

If you’d planned to apply for DYCP, don’t worry — this new route supports research, exploration, and developing your creative practice.

I’ve worked in the arts for over a decade and have supported many artists through ACE’s Access Support programme. If you’d like help figuring out which fund fits your idea, I’d love to support you.

🎉 After a long pause since July, Arts Council England’s National Lottery Project Grants (under £30k) reopen next week!

I know this closure has had a huge impact on artists — delaying projects and plans. Now, at last, there’s a fresh chance to move things forward.

Through the Access Support programme, I can help you prepare and complete your application, making the process smoother and your bid stronger.

It was an honour for Katie Manasse to attend the Trade Union Congress LGBT+ Workers Conference earlier this month as part of the Musicians' Union delegation.

As an Executive Committee representative for the Musicians'​ Union, Katie was proud to stand in solidarity with LGBTQIA+ workers across the labour movement.

A huge shout-out to Alia K for their powerful and moving speech—congratulations, Alia!

Connecting with so many passionate activists and trade unionists was a powerful reminder of how collective action can drive meaningful change.

Thank you to the TUC for hosting such an important and energising event.
