Artists for Kids provides small grants to enable children and young people, aged 5-17, who are experiencing hardship to participate in a broad range of artistic and cultural activities.
These activities include dance, music, drama and other cultural experiences. We also fund other interests and projects that we consider will enhance a child’s life experience.

We help kids who would otherwise miss out
Jack’s teacher knew of our grants and filled out an application for him. She felt he had a talent for music and knew he’d grow from some lessons. She organised a tutor and we paid for the classes which would not have been available to Jack without our financial support.
