Creative Unit Toolkit
The Creative Unit’s Funding and Support Toolkit aims to give an overview of the different sources of funding available for the creative industries, together with details of organisations that provide support and information services. It lists a wide range of grants covering small grants for individuals up to large grants for complex international projects. It is not an exhaustive list of all the funding available, but aims to be a starting point for your research.

Grantfinder Searches
Are you involved with a community, voluntary, not for profit organisation, business or charity? Do you need assistance with finding grants, loans or advice? If so we can help by undertaking a Grantfinder search.  Grantfinder is a funding information database and a search could identify potential sources of funding for your project ideas.

The Funding Information Service is a free service which provides comprehensive information about sources of local, regional, national UK and European funding for projects and programmes which promote the regeneration and economic development of Cornwall and the Isles of Scilly. 

To undertake a grantfinder search, please download the attached form, complete and return it to either Creative Skills to submit on your behalf or direct to Cornwall Enterprise, (address on top of form)

Women & Work: Sector Pathways Programme
The Women & Work programme is a government-funded scheme aimed at women employed in the fashion textiles sector.  The aim of the programme is to give women new skills, so they can progress in their career and achieve more themselves and their employers.

The programme is open to women who design or manufacture clothing, footwear or textiles, and women working the laundry and dry-cleaning or shoe repair sectors in England.  Employees who take part in Women & Work must belong to a registered company employing less than 5,000 people.
