Open Call: Application Support for Arts Council England National Portfolio Programme

At Bradford Producing Hub, we’re primarily looking to support organisations applying to Arts Council England’s National Portfolio investment programme for the first time, and those reapplying after a previously unsuccessful application – however if you are a current NPO with specific concerns about reapplying, please do let us know too. We know how daunting the process can be, and we want to help you feel confident and prepared. For those already part of the portfolio, we’re also here to listen to what support you might need if you have specific concerns about applying to the next round.

Building on our successful work with applicants in 2022, we’ve got some ideas about the kind of help we can offer. But, as always, we want this to be shaped by you. At this stage, we’re asking you to share your thoughts on how we can help you achieve your ambitions.

From your feedback, we’ll design timely, effective support ahead of the application process. While we can’t write your application for you or cover the cost of a bid writer, we’re here to guide you and help you put your best foot forward.

If this sounds like the support you need, please get in touch and let us know how we can help you take this exciting step toward joining the Arts Council England Portfolio by completing our expression of interest form below.

Please note: Bradford Producing Hub are exploring applying to join the NPO in the next round, so we’ll all be going through this together! We will share resources, learning and information as we go along – we’re here to support the development of the sector, and hope that by joining NPO along with many other Bradford organisations (fingers crossed!) we can be here to help up to 2030 at least. If you would like to talk to us about our NPO application or have any questions or concerns please reach out.
