Freelancer Fund - Application Form
The Welsh Government have launched the Freelancer Grant to help freelance professionals survive the economic consequences of coronavirus (Covid-19). This fund can grant one-off payments of £2,500 to support freelancers in the cultural/creative sectors facing financial challenges in the period from April 2020 - March 2021 as a result of the COVID-19 outbreak.
You are not eligible for this grant if:
- You have recently received funding from the Start-Up Grant launched in June 2020 to help new businesses survive the economic consequences of coronavirus (Covid-19).
- Freelancers who work in the sport sector
- You do not work within one of the areas outlined within the eligibility checker:
- The Arts;
- Creative Industries;
- Arts and Heritage Events;
- Culture and Heritage.
This funding is specifically for creative/cultural subsectors and roles that have been forced to cease work and/or face difficultly restarting because of the impact of Covid restrictions. Those in roles that have been able to continue at previous or near previous levels of activity (e.g. architects, graphic designers, games designers etc.) with or without support should not apply.
