Unlock Creative Industries Support Grant

Sunderland Culture is proud to be one of the many cultural organisations, practitioners and businesses working in Sunderland. We recognise the incredible impact that artists and creatives have on the city – and your potential to do even more. Creative businesses, cultural organisations and self-employed practitioners need support to sustain and grow their work and we are committed to helping you thrive.  

As part of this commitment, we are excited to launch a second round of Unlock grant funding for creative enterprise.  

Independent creative practitioners, businesses and organisations based in Sunderland are invited to apply for a grant of £1000 – £2,500 to help improve the performance of your creative business.  

The deadline for submitting the application is Friday 8 November, 5pm.

Unlock is funded by the UK Government through the Shared Prosperity Fund. It is a part of the Sunderland Innovate and Grow enterprise programme, led by University of Sunderland.
