Thanks to funding from Creative Scotland and the Gannochy Trust, we are delighted to be able to offer support to cover expenses for attendees to our National Convention of Youth Drama 2024 event. 

Support is available to any YTAS Member, who would be unable to attend the event without it – it’s as simple as that! YTAS will cover any costs incurred through attendance at #DramaCon2024. This could include childcare, travel and access costs.

Who can apply?

Support is available for any YTAS Member. If you are not yet a YTAS member and would like to become one, please sign up here. 

How do I apply?

If you would like to apply for Expenses Support for the National Convention of Youth Drama 2024, please complete the microsoft form, linked here, ideally at least three weeks ahead of the event (eg ideally apply before Saturday 9 March 2024). The questions on this form are to help us better understand who requires support and what support needs we can offer in the future. There is no eligibility criteria. 

Support will be allocated on a first-come-first-served basis, until funds run out, so we encourage you to submit your claim as early as you are able to. 

How will I know if I have been successful? What happens next? 

We expect to be able to let you know within two weeks of submission. Once you have submitted your application form, a member of the Youth Theatre Arts Scotland team will contact you to discuss the details of your application and/or obtain any further information required. 

You will receive a confirmation email with all the information you need ahead of the event.

Please try to allow at least three weeks before the event to request your expenses. If you would like to apply when there is less than three weeks’ notice, please send us an email to info@ytas.org.uk or call 0131 538 0591 to speak with a member of the team. 

I have more questions! 

Please email info@ytas.org.uk with any questions you might have and we’ll get back to you as soon as possible!
