Grants for Accessibility

ADAPT Trust operates throughout the UK and its goal is to improve access by advising and assisting arts and heritage venues to create effective access for everyone. It does this through grant aid, awards for excellence, awareness training and a consultancy service.

• The grants are for capital and long-term improvements in access facilities for disabled people
• Applications should be for specific items although these can be part of a larger project.
• Improvements can include: ramps; toilets; induction loops; lighting; signage. Innovatory projects are welcome.
• Consultation with disabled people or access groups is recommended
• The grants will range from £500 to £2,000
• Applicants must provide at least 50% of costs from their own or donated sources.
• Grants are paid on work completion and submission of invoices.
• Applications must be signed by the appropriate official to indicate approval for the project/finance and should include:
  1. estimate(s) of project costs
  2. plan of the work with measurements (if relevant)
  3. examples of current publicity including details of access
  4. a financial summary of your organisation's last audited accounts
• Advice on improvements can be obtained from the Trust

Applications cannot be considered for work already commenced or completed.

Priority will be given to low-income organisations.

ADAPT can only assist buildings where the main activity is arts based. Please note that the Trust cannot assist churches, schools, village halls, community centres, etc.

Further applications from successful / unsuccessful venues will not be considered for a period of twelve months from the date of their most recent application.

Closing date for applications: 30th June 2005
