NEW: Funding news - music, encouraging the youth and supporting the local community


The Brit Trust
The British Record Industry Trust is entirely funded by the music industry. The BRIT Trust considers all applications which meet the criteria within its mission statement 'to encourage young people in the exploration and pursuit of educational, cultural or therapeutic benefits emanating from music'. Applications are only considered annually at a Trust meeting in September so need to be submitted by the end of August.

The Ernest Cook Trust
Schools, registered charities and not-for-profit organisations wishing to encourage young people's interest either in the countryside and the environment, the arts or aiming to raise levels of literacy and numeracy can apply for funding to the Ernest Cook Trust. Meetings to consider applications for the small grants programme take place bi-monthly throughout the year.

Post Office Community Enterprise Fund
DCLG have launched a joint competition with Post Office Ltd to encourage sub postmasters to work with local people to come up with innovative ways that post offices can support the local community.  Post Office branches (excluding Crown branches) can apply to receive up to £10,000 to support a new scheme or service for their local community.
