Freelancers
working in the cultural and creative sectors in Wales will be able to apply for
their share of a £7 million fund – which is targeted specifically at those in
the freelance sector hit hardest by the coronavirus (COVID-19) pandemic.
The fund will open for
applications on Monday 5 October 2020 and will run over two phases.
Individuals can apply for a
£2,500 grant and are asked to check their eligibility before the application
process opens by visiting the Eligibility
Checker for the Cultural Recovery Fund.
Further
information on the scheme including guidance and a set of frequently asked questions will be made available before
the Fund launches.
The fund will be open to
freelancers in the sub sectors of arts, creative industries, arts and heritage
events, culture and heritage, whose work has direct creative/cultural outcomes.
