How the funding can help
Here’s what some of last year’s recipients had to say.
Alex Benson said,
“Overall, the money given to me by the Mike Howley Trust really gave me the opportunity to kickstart my career and helped me gain recognition for my skills. I feel that my career has developed so much in such a short space of time and my dream of being a professional musician now seems so much more achievable.”
Roberta Fidora said,
“The funding helped me to achieve all of my original aims and more, especially as I’d been unsuccessful with broader, more oversubscribed national funding programmes.
“Having a specialist funding opportunity with a focus on community was incredibly important to developing my project and being able to speak one to one with someone who understood my objectives was really useful too, enabling me to fully form ideas.”
