SMALL businesses in Derbyshire have been awarded a share of £9,000 as part of a grant scheme to boost the county's creative economy.
Artists, designers and a photographer are among the successful companies to receive the money from the Derbyshire Arts Partnership, supported by the county council.
Councillor Bob Janes, cabinet member for cultural services, said: "These grants provide a much-needed boost to small creative companies to enable them to expand and develop by funding vital marketing activity that they might not otherwise be able to afford."
Grants of up to £500 are available for a wide range of marketing including new publicity material, advertising and website development.
The successful companies include: Woodturning at Christmas Cottage, Youlgreave; Interior Visuals, Whaley Bridge; Claire Elsworth, Whaley Bridge; Peak District Products, High Peak; Sandra Orme, Harpur Hill.
Derbyshire Arts Partnership is made up of Derbyshire County Council and the county's borough and district councils.
