‘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).
