Apply for an Access Grant

The Access Grant exists to support artists for whom the cost of a session would otherwise be out of reach. It has been active since June 2024, when I began directing half of all Patreon membership income directly into it. One-off contributions from supporters are added to it too. The fund is already in use and continues to grow.

The grant covers up to 100% of the session fee, from a minimum of 30 minutes to a maximum of four hours per applicant per year. It is applied at discretion, on enquiry. For full session fees, see the mentoring page.

The Access Grant is for artists whose total annual income falls below £47,000, the London Minimum Income Standard for a decent standard of living, as established by Trust for London. It is not available in combination with institutional funding.

There is no fee to apply. You may apply for full or partial assistance. Request an application using the link below and you will receive a response within four weeks.
