Arts, entertainment and leisure, checked for you 24/7
The funder that already gives to organisations like yours.
Arts funding, lottery rounds, local schemes, and the trusts that quietly give to organisations like yours without ever publishing a call.
ReachSpot reads the published record and the funders' own accounts, then tells you which ones actually fund your kind of work, and what they gave.
Venue planning nearby and supplier insolvency land in the same feed.
See what you missed last month £99 a month, or £990 a year and keep £198
Free, and before anything else. No card, no account, and it runs on your own record rather than a demonstration.
What we read for you
The records behind every match, named.
These are the sources ReachSpot reads for arts, entertainment and leisure. Not a roadmap and not everything that exists: what is connected and running. Where a stream covers less ground than its name suggests, it says so here rather than in a footnote.
| Trust and foundation accountsUnited Kingdom |
The trusts and foundations that fund work like yours, read out of their filed accounts, where a trust records who it gave to and how much. The grants tables inside funders' own filed accounts: who they gave to, how much, and for what. |
|---|---|
| Find a grantUnited Kingdom |
Government schemes and funded programmes, with the eligibility criteria and the window attached. UK government grant opportunities, with their eligibility criteria and windows. Worth knowing. Recorded Find a grant notices only. Not a claim of complete grant coverage. |
| London Planning DatahubGreater London |
Venue and leisure applications and decisions across the London boroughs. Planning applications and decisions across the London boroughs, as they are determined. Worth knowing. This is the planning footprint ReachSpot reads today. There is no usable national feed of UK planning applications, so outside London the Property stream has nothing to give you yet, and we would rather say that than let you find out. |
| Find a TenderUnited Kingdom |
Public contracts for programming and leisure management. UK public procurement notices, in the open contracting standard. Worth knowing. Recorded Find a Tender notices only. Not a claim of complete UK procurement coverage. |
| Companies HouseUnited Kingdom |
Charges and insolvency at venues, promoters and suppliers. Every incorporation, charge, officer change, PSC change and insolvency case, pushed as it is filed. |
| Food Standards AgencyUnited Kingdom |
Food hygiene registration and inspection where you run bars or catering. Every registered food business across all four nations, with inspection ratings, plus product recalls and allergy alerts. |
Every match keeps its original record. If we cannot show you why something reached you, we do not send it.
What this looks like
Four months. Four things nobody would have sent you.
A chamber orchestra with eighteen core players and a schools programme.
- Day one A trust publishes its accounts. Inside is a list of who it funded last year, and three of them are ensembles your size. Trust and foundation accounts
- Week two Another set of accounts shows the same trust gave to you four years ago. Nobody in the office remembered. Trust and foundation accounts
- Month two A government scheme opens that would fund the schools programme you have been running for nothing. Find a grant
- Month four A venue you tour to applies to change the use of its building. Your spring dates need a second option. London Planning Datahub
That trust has never advertised a grant and never will. Its list of who it funds is a public document, and almost nobody reads it.
An example of what these sources can show a business like this one. Not a real customer and not a measured result.
What a match looks like
One record, and the reason it reached you.
An illustration of the shape a match takes. Not a live result.
What happened
A funded programme opening on Find a grant
Why you got it
The eligibility matches your organisation type and your art form, and the window is open long enough to write a proper application.
What it carries
The scheme, what it funds, who may apply, the closing date, and the guidance as published.
What it costs
£99 a month. Everything included.
Eight streams run against your record whether you read them or not, so there is nothing cheaper to drop to and nothing to add on later. Your home market is in the price. Cancel any month.
Yearly is £990, which is ten months rather than twelve and keeps £198 in your account.

Questions arts, entertainment and leisure ask
Answered straight, including the awkward ones.
Do you read Arts Council or lottery funding?
Where a scheme is published on Find a grant, yes. Distributor portals are not sources ReachSpot reads, so the honest answer is that a call published only inside one will not reach you.
What about trusts and foundations?
Yes, and for this sector they matter more than the schemes. ReachSpot reads funders' own filed accounts, where a trust has to record who it gave to and how much, and tells you which ones have already funded work like yours. Most of them never publish a call at all, which is exactly why reading the accounts is the only way to find them.
Is it useful for a venue rather than a company?
Planning decisions on competing and neighbouring sites in London, food hygiene where you serve, and supplier insolvency are all in the same price.
Are we better off on the charity pack?
If you are a registered charity, yes, and it is cheaper at £49. The register lookup routes charities there automatically.
