↑ radical social award 2025
@theleapbd
the leap radical social programme is looking for motivated individuals, aged 16 to 25, with a creative idea, who passionately believe that using arts and culture can make a real difference in their communities.
awards are available up to £1,500.
about this programme
The Leap Awards support projects that are for the benefit of people and places that are least engaged in arts and culture. Our Awards are for projects that are unique to Bradford and Keighley. The Leap aims to get more local people shaping and leading arts and cultural projects within their communities and the district. You don't have to be part of an organisation, or a professional artist to apply.

monitoring and evaluation
You will be required to provide The Leap (and/or our partners) with data, monitoring and evaluation information for your project, so that we can share this with our funders. Collecting data is an extremely important part of project management. Data can be used to track whether the aims of the project have been a success, or whether it needs to be adapted and improved in the future to achieve the intended aims. The Monitoring and Evaluation requirements may be downloaded as a pdf by clicking on this link.
