This workshop will:

Give you an insight into the purpose of the grants
Help you think through your project
Take you through key stages of the application process and application form
Look at what makes a strong application
Provide opportunities for you to ask questions about your own proposal

Led by freelance literature producer Tom MacAndrew, it will talk you through the different questions in the NLPG form to help you think about how you can respond to them. They’ll give examples of what sort of projects have previously been funded and how Spread the Word has supported writers to achieve funding.

Arts Council England’s National Lottery Project Grants are open for individual artists or cultural organisations to apply at any time. They range from £1,000 to £100,000, and you can choose whether you would like to apply for up to £30,000 or over £30,000. Projects can vary, but in general should be seeking to reach people and communities with artistic work or cultural education.
