Creative Freelancer Support Fund – Important Update
Please note – Temporary suspension to The Cultural Recovery Fund Freelancer Grant
The Welsh Government has temporarily suspended applications for the Creative Freelancer Support Fund. Applications for phase two will reopen shortly afterwards on Monday 19th October at 10am. The intention was always to deliver the Freelancer Grant over two phases to allow those freelancers more time to apply.
The duration of phase two will depend on the number of applications received by each local authority.
