Express your interest

Submitting a completed Expression of Interest form is the first stage in an activity becoming part of the Children’s Capital of Culture programme in 2025.

We've put together a set of guidance notes, which we hope will help give clear, practical guidance about the programme proposals process and how to complete this Expression of Interest form.

A full list of all questions on the Expression of Interest form, as well as guidance notes to help you answer them, can be found on our guidance and notes page.

If you would like to answer the questions on this form in a different way - for example, by sending us an audio or video file, or by answering them in a language that isn't English - please get in touch with Sarah Williams, our Programme Coordinator, and she can talk you through the alternative ways you can share your ideas with us. You can reach Sarah on sarah.williams@rotherham.gov.uk, or on 01709 254964.

If your Expression of Interest form is approved, you'll be invited to complete a full application form. This is the second (and final!) stage in the programme proposals process.
