The Rural Engagement Arts Programme (REAP) aims to help combat isolation and loneliness, promote social inclusion, and improve equality of access and opportunity to arts provision, encouraging greater participation in the arts within all communities.

Groups can apply for one-off projects or for a programme of events. Projects do not have to be new - existing, successful programmes that meet the strategic themes of REAP, are also eligible for support.

You can apply for an award of between £500 and £10,000 for a project, which can last up to one year and can take place on any dates between 1 December 2026 and 30 November 2027.
