Regional Programme Support Fund
This year’s festival will take place from 10-27 October 2024, exploring the theme of ‘In/Visible’. With support from Creative Scotland, we are offering grants of between £250 – £1000 to support regional activity as part of this year’s SMHAF programme.
Fund Guidelines
Applications are open to all, but we are particularly interested in supporting events in areas that are underrepresented in our programme. These currently include Aberdeen, Dundee, Perth and Stirling, as well as rural areas anywhere in Scotland, and other areas with limited access to the arts.
We will also prioritise applications from anywhere in Scotland that directly engage with communities who are most at risk of experiencing poor mental health. We anticipate supporting projects across a diverse range of regional areas and communities.
The fund is now open and you can find full details on our website. Applications should be submitted through our online application form. The closing date is 2pm on Tuesday 21 May.
Please also find a graphic which you’re welcome to use to share news about the opportunity.
