A CREATIVE arts organisation in Slough has launched its new grant funding programme to support arts and cultural events in the town.

HOME Slough, which creates opportunities for arts and community organisations in Slough, announced its new On Your Doorstep programme.

It will aim to bring communities together to enjoy new arts and cultural experiences in Slough.

Individuals, groups and organisations can apply for grants of up to £1,000 to fund an arts event or activity.

The overall pot is £15,000, and On Your Doorstep will continue until all the money is distributed.

The type of event is up to those applying but it must be free and allow as many people to take part as possible.

 A successful commission will be provided with guidance and support to develop the idea.

Jake Orr, creative producer for HOME Slough, said: “On Your Doorstep is an opportunity for people to bring new arts and cultural activities to their local communities.

“We want to commission anything – knitting, dance, film, puppetry or craft – that is arts-based, high-quality and will attract new audiences to get involved.

“We are looking for great ideas and for people to have some fun.”
