The Chris Drinkwater Creative Health in Primary Schools Awards will be changing this year to a grant to fund more longer-term projects.
Grants of up to £6,000 will be available and we are looking to fund two-year projects that will start in September 2026.
Criteria for applications are: creative health projects based in the North East and North Cumbria, that build resilience in primary school children before they transition to secondary school.
Projects will ideally be partnerships between primary schools, arts and cultural organisations or creative practitioners. Applications can be submitted by either partner.
Projects will be reviewed after one year, focussing on the difference and the impact that has been made.
Further information including how to apply is available on the North East Museums website. Closing date for applications is 8th June 2026.
