Funding Workshop: Musical Instruments for Bands Programme

The Arts Council of Northern Ireland has reopened its Musical Instruments Programme, with £750,000 available to help bands replace worn-out instruments and buy new ones. The Ulster-Scots Community Network is running a series of free funding workshops to help our member bands prepare a strong application.

What we'll cover

In this online session we'll take you through the application process step by step:

who can apply and what the fund will pay for

the documents and supporting information you'll need

how to write an application that meets the Arts Council's priorities

Questions and answers

After the presentation there will be a Q&A. If there's a question we can't answer on the night, we'll put it to the Arts Council and come back to you with their answer.
