The Culture Bridge North East (CBNE) fund provides grants of up to £1,500 to support collaborations between education and youth settings, arts practitioners and cultural organisations anywhere in the North East. Priority is given to projects which improve access to high quality arts provision for those who would otherwise face barriers to taking part.

CBNE Programme Manager, Mel Burgess, says: “While the grants available are small, we know teachers and artists can use these practical, manageable amounts to make great things happen, so we’re confident the fund can have a big and lasting impact on the lives of young people across the region.”

The Culture North East fund is managed by the Community Foundation for Tyne & Wear and Northumberland and is open for applications until 15 January 2023.
