activities that bring about and evidence positive and sustained change
in one or more of six priority areas:

1. Young people’s academic achievements
2. Young people’s achievements and progression within one or more artforms
3. Young people’s soft-skills and or well-being, social, moral and or cultural development
4. Young people’s access to, and participation in, arts-based learning activities

Two types of grant are available under this Fund to support work at different stages of development:

  up to two years to help test new approaches or gather evidence for the
  first time about approaches that have been used before.
• Arts-based Learning ‘more and better’ grants – offering longer,

  which has already shown promise or positive impact.

Applicants may also be interested in the Ideas and Pioneers Fund,
