Charities are being urged to apply for grants of up to £5,000 grants after funding was re-opened by an arts and conservation specialist trust.
The Idlewild Trust has re-opened applications for two funding streams.
The first focuses on grants to arts organisations to nurture professionals in the start of their career in the arts. The other is grants to support the conservation of historic or artistically important objects and works of arts in museums, galleries, historic buildings and places of worship.
