Successful applicants will be enabled to increase their capacity to deliver creative activities for the people of Northfleet.

We are providing grants of between £5,000 and £10,000 to support organisations, individuals or groups who are or have previously delivered creative activity in Northfleet, Kent. We want to support local initiatives and successful programmes to continue delivering activity for Northfleet communities. This funding can be used to:

• Sustain existing projects in the Northfleet area, enabling them to have greater reach, impact, run for longer or undertake some development to improve them.
• Support projects that have previously been delivered and were successful with good engagement from local people, be redelivered or return to Northfleet. We’re happy for these projects to have reflected on learnings from previous presentations and make changes based on the needs of the project and/or the community.
• Enable organisations or groups with a strong track record of delivering in Northfleet to present new work, the work must reflect learnings from previous projects or demonstrate community demand.

Activities must be public facing with an offer for local people to engage in creativity.

This grant programme is for Creative organisations, individuals and groups. We are open to hearing from community organisations or groups who have a track record of working with arts and culture to deliver creative projects or activities.
