Calling all micro and small creative business and freelancers in B&NES! BSU Boost is here to help you apply for previously inaccessible funding.

BSU Boost offers practical support on the grant application process up to submission and beyond; furthers your knowledge of how to access funds you may have previously deemed unattainable; and helps to streamline the funding distribution timeline of successful grant applications.

Do you:

  • Want to apply for a grant?
  • Feel you’re ready to grow, but lack the tools to succeed?
  • Don’t have *exactly* what the funder wants (capacity, expertise…) so think it’s a waste of time?

We want to hear from you. Apply now.

  • Have a project which aims to do any of the following:
    • Help your business and/ or community grow and regenerate
