FUNDING
New resource mapping funding schemes available to music businesses
The Department for Culture, Media
and Sport (DCMS) has published a new resource mapping the funding schemes
available to small and medium sized music businesses.
DCMS announced that because they
understand that raising finance for creative businesses can be a problem, they
have put together this new document Money Map. This map lists funding schemes
that might be helpful to those 90% of music businesses which are Small and
Medium Enterprises and that often face distinct problems which can hinder their
ability to grow.
It also includes information for a
wide range of individuals and smaller organisations involved in music projects.

Why the Arts Matter
Arts Council England is leading a
campaign on just ‘why the arts matter’ highlighting to MPs and Ministers
how the arts sector represents a great investment; boosting tourism, the
creative industries and contributing to the social and community agenda, all
for the equivalent of 17p per person per week, They have produced a
useful toolkit, listing arguments to protect the arts and a guide to working
with MPs.
Mary Lowe, England Coordinator has
used some of the arguments to focus on the voluntary arts in a letter to Nick
Brown, MP for Newcastle East. Write to your MP and encourage your members
to do so to keep the arts on the political agenda.

Your guide to organising a street
party or fete
Communities Secretary Eric Pickles
has announced a ban on the reams of forms, high costs and red tape getting in
the way of communities organising street parties and summer fetes.
From now on, instead of organisers
being met with endless, confusing guidelines on food licences, road closures
and insurance - councils can ask street party organisers to complete one simple
form.
Previously, some small community
groups were asked to apply for up to five separate licences and found it tricky
to get upfront advice on what to do. They also found out about hidden costs
right at the last minute, causing delays or cancellations to community events.
The 'Your guide to organising a
street party or fete' form is available at http://www.communities.gov.uk/publications/communities/streetpartyguide.

Public liability insurance for
smaller organisations
Public liability insurance for
small voluntary organisations and community groups which costs less than £10 a
month or £75 a year has been developed by Zurich Insurance in collaboration
with sector support umbrella NAVCA and charity specialists Tennyson Insurance.
