As part of their “ongoing mission to support the Sheffield community”, the 2024 Tramlines Trust is providing grants for local organisations and people who are supporting the arts, community, and environment, Amy Britton reports.

Alongside the return of the Little Hillsborough initiative, which offers cheap stalls for local independent businesses, Tramlines hopes the grants will help people in the area improve their opportunities. 

Tramlines Operations Director, Timm Cleasby, said: “I know first-hand that there are hundreds of local people with ideas that have the power to change their communities for the better.

“We’re very pleased that Tramlines can help in any way to realise these dreams and create meaningful impact in people’s lives.”

The festival is also bringing back its residents ticket service, which gives away a number of free tickets to local people with 1,600 weekend passes offered up in 2023.
