The Rogue Creators’ Fund

We believe creativity should be accessible -  not dependent on who you know, how well you write funding applications, or whether your work fits a narrow brief. That’s why we’ve built a fund where anyone can contribute just £1 a month to help power bold ideas, fund local projects, and support emerging talent.

We collect monthly or annual contributions from our members, the idea being that if enough people contributed even just £1 we'd have a small but sustainable fund from which to support local creators, this is held in our Lloyds Community Business account.

Our aim is to reach £500, at which point we'll open applications to creators looking for project funding.  Once applications close we'll host a community fund decision making event.  This is a chance for you to meet and mingle with other Rogue Creator Members, hear from applicants, and help decide where the money goes. These events are relaxed, informal, and focused on connection.

Why? Because we believe funding decisions should be transparent, human, and rooted in community - not made behind closed doors or filtered through jargon. When people can see the passion behind the projects and the people behind the ideas, it builds trust, accountability, and a stronger creative ecosystem.

By becoming a Member, you’re doing more than donating - you’re investing in a new way of supporting local arts. One that’s open, fair, and built on shared values.

Let’s create something powerful - together.
