We know winter can be a tough time for music creators as earnings are unpredictable and the cost of living is high. If you’re facing financial hardship, the PRS Member’s Fund may be able to help you through their Winter Relief Scheme.
Last year alone, the scheme provided over £600k in financial support to help members cope with the pressures of household bills and rising living costs. This winter, you can apply for a grant to help cover your own household bills and essential living costs.
Eligibility Criteria
To be eligible to apply for a grant you must:
be a UK resident
have earned at least £500 in royalties
have less than £16,000 in savings
Please note that only one application will be accepted per household, and you will need to provide two months of bank statements when you apply. If you have received any help from the PRS Members’ Fund during 2026 you will not be eligible to apply for the Winter Relief Scheme again until 2027.
Applications for the Winter Relief Scheme are open until 31 March 2027.
