DASH Access Support

Important Information (updated 25 February 2026)

Thank you for taking the time to browse this page. We are currently reviewing and restructuring our Access Support provision.

We do plan to continue to offer support in the very near future.

Due to a large volume of enquiries that we are currently managing - meaning that we are at full capacity for dealing with current requests for support - we are unable to offer support to anyone making a new enquiry at this time. We plan to complete the review process of our offer by mid-April 2026.

Please do still get in touch with us, to register your request for support, and we will add you to our enquiries list and respond to you as soon as possible: info@dasharts.org

The information below is how we currently work with artists seeking Access Support. This is the structure we will maintain and offer when our restructure of our Access Support is completed in mid-April 2026

Are you a Disabled artist who requires access support to apply for an Arts Council England DYCP or Project Grant?

You can nominate DASH to be your access support provider.

DASH have a number of skilled Access Support workers who can help guide you through the process, support you in putting your application together and finally hit the submit button!

The first step

We need to talk to you a little about your project idea or DYCP plans first before we can match you with a suitable support worker and complete a claim for Access Support.

To find out more please email: info@dasharts.org

Please include the email header ‘Request for Access Support assistance’

We also ask that you fill out a short questionnaire so we can better understand your requirements and how we are able to help.
