FEATURED: JUMP START FUND
SIMPLE. QUICK. IMPACTFUL.
Our Jump Start Fund offers grants of up to £250 to help get your project off the ground, over the line, or simply just to cover a cost holding you back from doing something epic for your business!
All you need to do is tell us who you are, where in the South Central Region you are based, what area of music you work in and how your project or business would use the money.
We are offering up to 6 grants, with a maximum of one application per person, business or project.
UPDATES:

To get an idea of what to expect from the programme going forward read our review of our last development programme ‘Sounds Of South Central’ in the link below
ARTIST DEVELOPMENT
MEMBER SUPPORT & DROP INS
BLOC is about supporting our members, helping you grow, up-skill or simply consolidate the amazing work you are already doing.
As part of this we offer support to all our members, members including 1-2-1’s with our team where you can sit down with us for free consultations to discuss issues like funding, expanding your network, or finding space for your next event.

OUR RESIDENT SPACES: PLanet SOUNDS & IO
As part of SoCo Music Project BLOC is fortunate enough to have resident spaces at Planet Sounds Rehearsal Rooms and Recording Studio, and our new intimate 50-cap venue ‘IO’.
We are proud to be part of the local music scene through our spaces and work hard to make them as accessible and affordable as possible.

THE PLAYBOOK @ GOOD THINGS SOUTHAMPTON.
In order to better connect the music sector across the region, BLOC will be collaborating with members around Hampshire & the Isle of Wight to deliver networking opportunities for independent music businesses and creatives to get together.
These sessions will be scheduled around major events, and at times those of you who are busy delivering amazing live events every evening can actually make it to!
We already collaborate with two amazing networking series so come along and meet the community.
