‘Your Heritage’ Grants Workshop:
The
next Archive Lottery Advisory Service one-day workshop on the Heritage Lottery
Fund’s ‘Your Heritage’ grant scheme will take place on Wednesday
16 September 2009 at London Metropolitan Archives.
Course
Objectives are:
·
To
give participants a detailed understanding of the criteria for 'Your Heritage'
grants
·
To
provide participants with advice on completing the application form
·
To
give participants confidence to complete the application form independently
The
workshop is designed for those aiming to apply to the Heritage Lottery Fund's
'Your Heritage' grant scheme. This scheme is for grants between £3,000 and
£50,000.
Why
you should be interested in attending:
·
There
is around £16 million per year allocated to this scheme by the Heritage Lottery
Fund
·
From
April 2008 the Heritage Lottery Fund introduced a simplified application form
for this scheme, and reduced the assessment period to 10 weeks
·
We
have noticed a reduction in the number of bids being put forward to the HLF by archives
over recent months, despite the success rate of previous applicants who have
attended this workshop. For example, Mountain Heritage Trust ( http://www.mountain-heritage.org/latest_news.php)
and the Surrey History Centre ( http://www.surreycc.gov.uk/sccwebsite/sccwspages.nsf/LookupWebPagesByTITLE_RTF/The+story+of+Ockenden+International?opendocument)
have both been successful recently with grants following attendance at these
workshops.
These
workshops are open to anyone working in archives or with archive materials in
the UK, but participants would benefit most if they have a specific project
proposal in mind.
Places
on these events are free but limited and will be allocated on a first
come, first serve basis. (Closing date for bookings is 24 August 2009).
To
reserve a place please complete the booking form available from the National
Council on Archives website www.nca.org.uk/lottery
