Grants of up to £3,000 are available to voluntary groups in the borough that support and develop the arts and other cultural activities.

The Redbridge Arts Grant, which launched last week, will fund up to 60 per cent of the overall costs of one application.

The fund aims to encourage a range of ideas and proposals linked to artistic creativity and development, seeking new ideas and innovations.

Projects should include events, workshops and activities for people to participate in for a limited time.
