Subject: Grants for choirs!

I hope you are well.  I wanted to let you know that we have set up a fund to help choirs with £200,000 in grants towards training and development.  I attach the BBC Press Office link and a link to our website.  The scheme is now open for applications and I want to make sure that we get entries from across the UK.  Would it be possible to send out the link to your contacts? Any other help with promoting the scheme to your network would be greatly appreciated!
