Details

This small grants fund has been set up to support organisations to put on remembrance events as part of this year's To Absent Friends festival (1-7 November 2024). The fund aims to support activities that provide opportunities for storytelling and/or remembrance of people who have died.

Two types of small grants are available:

• Community grants: These are for organisations and communities who want to plan private remembrance events at which their community can come together (in person or online) to share memories, stories and solace.
• Public grants: These are for organisations who want to organise an interactive public event such as a concert, exhibition or installation, freely open to members of the public.

They are keen to support:

• Events that celebrate and remember a person or people who have died – whether recently or long ago AND/OR
• Events that strengthen community connections by bringing people together to share stories and solace.

In previous years, events have included concerts, poetry nights, craft activities, storytelling suppers, exhibitions, gardening activities, movies for children and much more.
