Norma Percy Helps Launch New Documentary Grant Through Grierson Trust
A new documentary grant aimed at supporting factual filmmakers in the final stages of production has been launched by the Grierson Trust in partnership with Brook Lapping Executive Producer, Norma Percy.
Made possible through Norma’s donation as a Grierson Trust patron, the new Grierson-Percy Documentary Grant has been created to help fund essential finishing costs for documentaries already in production. The initiative will support projects with substantial filming completed and a particular focus on films exploring political and international issues.
Norma and Brook Lapping have spent decades producing award-winning documentaries that bring major global events and political stories to audiences with depth, access and insight. Two to three grants will be awarded in 2026, with funding ranging from £10,000–£25,000 to help bring important stories to screen.
