Are volunteers well looked after in your creative group?

Our latest micro-grant competition is all about volunteers, and how to make sure they feel supported, appreciated and cared for.

So if volunteers are the lifeblood of your group, and you make sure they know their worth, share your story with us!

We're looking for top tips, great ideas and innovative examples of how creative groups look after their volunteers. We'll share your stories in an online guide, so that everyone can benefit from them - and we'll give a £250 micro-grant (or 290 Euros in Ireland) to our favourite entry!

Please send examples of how you look after your volunteers and, if possible, a photo or two of your volunteers in action, to [email protected] by Tuesday 30 September 2025.
