Who can apply?
Arts Award welcome applications from all registered Arts Award centres based in
England, but priority will be given to centres that:
- are working with young people for whom access and
inclusion is an issue - will use the grant to support them to pilot,
embed or develop their Arts Award work with
these groups

has been used to support centres in the past
