High Peak Community Arts is a registered charity (No. 517887) and a company limited by guarantee (No.2036083.) We rely on income from grants and donations to be able to provide our programmes, which are free at the point of access.
We are very grateful for the support we have been given from Derbyshire County Council over many years, which we continue to receive. Similarly, High Peak Borough Council has continued to provide some core support to our organisation.
In recent years regular funding from statutory sources has been greatly reduced, and in the future we will have to meet the core costs of running our charity from project budgets and a greater range of small funders, including local donations from the people of the High Peak. Our new partnership with the White Stuff store in Buxton has been a good boost in our fund raising.
Major project funders include:
The Big Lottery – Project eARTh
BBC Children in Need – Film Cuts Club
Arts Council England (Grants for the Arts) – Write to Roam
The National Foundation for Youth Music – Music Arts Pod
Derbyshire Music Education Hub – Tall Tales, and in the past the Music Arts Pod
Other funders over recent years have included: The Lloyds Foundation, the Foyle Foundation, The Ernest Cook Trust, Foundation Derbyshire, The High Sheriff’s Fund and many more.
A big thank you to all our funders for their support and investment in the work of High Peak Community Arts.
