Conference Dates: 11-13 October 2023

Venue: Various, Barnsley Town Centre

Through generous support from the South Yorkshire Mayoral Combined Authority, the Culture, Health & Wellbeing Alliance is offering 10 free spaces to attend Making Change: Culture, Health & Wellbeing Alliance national conference to freelance creative practitioners who live, or whose practice, is based in the South Yorkshire Region. We particularly want to encourage applications from people identifying with any of the protected characteristics as defined in the 2010 Equality Act, or who are from less affluent socioeconomic backgrounds. 

(There is also a separate bursary opportunity for Barnsley-based practitioners here, deadline 1 Sept)

Each bursary recipient will receive:

  • One free ticket to the conference, taking place in Barnsley from 11-13 October
  • A £100 stipend  - this can be used for whatever the practitioner needs - for example travel, accommodation, or to cover their time
  • Food and refreshments whilst at the conference
