Creative Industries Programme

Westminster's Creative industries employ 69,000 people and make a huge contribution to the economy of areas like Soho. It is one of the largest creative clusters in the world. On the advice of creative industry organisations and business leaders, Westminster City Council (in partnership with BPI, Design Council, PACT and UK Screen) is supporting economic development in Westminster's creative industries by providing:

• 300 Training bursaries (up to £1,000).
• 50 International trade trip bursaries (up to £2,000).
• 15 Cabling-infrastructure bursaries (up to £3,300).

Eligability for bursaries: You need to be a resident, employee or business in the City of Westminster, and operate in the Design, Music, Production or Post-Production Sector.
