Communication support

We are committed to being accessible, and want to make the Grants for the arts application process open to everyone.

  • We provide Grants for the arts information in alternative formats (see below)
  • We also accept completed application forms in alternative formats
  • We can help applicants who require communication support to complete the application form

Please tell us about your access requirements so we can assist you during the application process, from your first enquiry to the final decision on your application. If we offer you a grant, we can also offer support as part of the monitoring process.

If you are disabled (or are affected by an impairment such as dyslexia) and require communication support to help you fill in your applicaiton, please contact our enquiries team to find out about how we can help.

Getting an application pack in other formats

We provide Grants for the arts application materials in a variety of formats. You can request the application pack in large print, audio CD, Braille or on BSL DVD. We can also arrange to accept applications in these formats. Please contact your regional office to arrange this.

You can also download the documents in the application pack in MS Word or PDF formats.

Information about the programme is available in languages other than English, although we can only accept applications in English.

If you require any of these formats, please phone our enquiries team on 0845 300 6200, fill in our enquiry form or textphone 020 7973 6564.

Application forms must be signed by hand. However, if a disabled person finds it difficult to do so, we will accept their usual signing method.
