How Much?
Up to £200 per application – please only apply for the costs you need covered rather than ‘bulking up’ to meet the maximum amount. This will enable a fairer spread of the pot.
What does it cover?
Travel costs
Accommodation costs
Subsistence costs
Attendance tickets
Training costs to support your practice
Personal access costs
Any other relevant costs to enable your visit
What is involved in accepting a micro grant?
This is a rolling programme. Grants will be administered on a first come first served basis, and therefore once the fund has been fully allocated, we will announce that applications are closed.
You will need to spend the micro grant before 1st March 2026.
You will need to complete a short feedback form describing the grant activity and how it has benefited your work, including photographic documentation if relevant. Responses from all micro grant recipients will be collated to create a report for our funder, ACW.
We would love it if you could write a short blog (max 500 words) or create a vlog about your visit, which we can share with our funders and WAHWN members. Further information about this will be provided upon receipt of your micro grant.
Any unspent grants will need to be paid back within 14 days.
