Rochdale Borough Culture Network Small Grants Fund 25/26

Cartwheel Arts


Closing: 22nd October ’25

The Rochdale Borough Culture Network offers grants of up to £800 to support individual artists, arts organisations, voluntary groups, faith and social enterprises that widen access to arts and culture in Rochdale borough. Applications are for creative projects or activities including theatre, music, dance performances, visual arts exhibitions/workshops, film/digital media, creative writing/spoken word, community or participatory workshops, interdisciplinary arts, and outdoor arts, festivals and events. Priority is given to projects that demonstrate strong connection to Rochdale borough, engage audiences across the borough or beyond, widen access to creativity for traditionally under-served communities (including those at risk of racial inequalities, disabled, LGBTQ+ and communities experiencing poverty), and are delivered by artists/organisations with limited access to other funds. RBCN is committed to ensuring artists are paid fairly and adequately for their work, supporting artists to be artists through adequate fees, development investment and materials.
