Arts, Heritage and Communities Grant

The Skinners' Company funds arts, heritage, and community projects, primarily in London and Kent. These can range from one-off events through to multi-year projects. Arts and heritage projects include local projects which help communities conserve and restore their landmarks, landscape, traditions and culture. Performing and visual arts work include projects across the arts – from performance and drama to music and art. Community projects can be broader, bringing together and supporting local people, but must still include an arts or heritage element. Grants of up to £5,000 per year are available for projects and/or capital items, with awards for three years open to consideration. The program prioritizes fully funding requests rather than awarding part-funding, with a non-exclusive focus on specific boroughs in London (City of London, Hackney, Hounslow, and Enfield) and districts in Kent (Tonbridge and Malling, Tunbridge Wells, Folkestone, and Hythe).
