The Farnham Town Council is pleased to announce the South Street Trust Grants.
The South Street Trust was set up following the sale of the Farnham School of Science and Art in 1986/87. The school was established by local philanthropists James and John Knight in 1880 for the ‘instruction of children and adults in drawing, painting, modelling, designing for architecture, manufacture and decoration and for no other purpose’.
Eligibility Criteria
Farnham organisations who wish to apply for a funding for an art-based educational activity.
Grant Criteria
- projects must have a creative input.
- Projects outside the Farnham area may be considered depending on how many beneficiaries are from the Farnham area.
- Performing arts such as drama, music and dance are not eligible for a grant. If there is a creative connection to a performing arts project, then funding may be considered.

The Council awards around 25 grants a year. In previous years this has included:
- a clay exploration class for children aged three to 11 at Farnham Pottery
- the commissioning of some artists to work with children in 12 local schools
