The Covid years were tough ones for the arts sector - and now it's facing extra challenges amid a cost of living crisis.
A new funding platform - the first and only one dedicated to the arts and culture sector - seeks to change that.
It's been set up and run through Funding HQ with help from the Ministry of Culture and Heritage, and will help smaller arts groups connect with the right funder for them.
Jenni Giblin is Funding HQ's CEO and says a large chunk of available funding tends to go to the same organisations - and she sees the new arts and culture funding portal as a way of levelling the playing field.
