42 organisations have received support through the Tramline’s Trust’s funding round, which saw applications from grassroots projects, charities, and community groups across the region, and has awarded more than £120,000 in small grants since its 2022 launch. Notable funds raised in 2025 include over £20,000 for the Sarah Nulty Power of Music Foundation, as well as a further £5,000 to Doctors Without Borders as part of a new charity partnership. 

Pia Scattergood, Tramlines Festival Coordinator said, “Tramlines has always been about more than music, and it matters to us that the festival has an impact beyond the weekend. The Trust helps us stay connected to what’s happening around Hillsborough, while also supporting projects across the city. It means we’re learning from local groups and celebrating the arts and community work that make Sheffield what it is.”

Tramlines returns in 2026, running from Friday 24th to Sunday 26th July, and boasts a lineup featuring Fatboy Slim, Wolf Alice, Courteeners, Blossoms, and Kaiser Chiefs.
