19.08.2026

Some of our favourite projects at Sundae are grassroots festivals happening in towns and cities across the country.

They’re not in competition with the big national festivals. […]

18.06.2026

We spend a lot of time at Sundae helping organisations tell their stories, but some of the most useful work happens much earlier, before there’s a press release to write, a website to fill or anything to shout about. New funded organisations and projects can have years of work behind them before most people ever […]
