Could you or a young person you know benefit from support to access music and arts opportunities? 🎶🎭🩰

SMART grants can help young people in Suffolk overcome financial barriers to taking part in music and the arts, from lessons, instruments, participating in local groups, to other opportunities that might otherwise be out of reach.

The deadline to apply for support for Spring Term activities is this Friday 9th October.

It is with a heavy heart that we say goodbye to our fantastic grants officer Wendy.

Wendy is the charitys founder after she brought together SYO alumni for Phillip Shaw's retirement. She set us up as a charity and was the first chair.

Her other rules have included treasurer, grants officer, and events maker - including pulling together our Latitude spot in 2019.

As well as all this, Wendy's Winter Workout raised £680 for SMART back in 2021.

Thank you Wendy for everything you've done, and we wish you all the best for the future!
