The Heritage Lottery Fund has launched a new £1m small grants programme for local history projects. Grants from 3 to 10K. All our stories http://www.hlf.org.uk/HowToApply/programmes/Pages/Allourstories.aspx Programme priorities
You can request funding for the following types of activity to explore and learn about heritage:
Visits to places like historic buildings, landscapes, parks, burial grounds, museums, archaeological sites or industrial heritage sites like railways. Using collections like archives, libraries and museums, including collections held by people in the community. Talking to people who know about heritage or holding workshops, talks and sessions exploring peoples memories. Recording things like peoples memories or local wildlife; scanning old photographs and documents; archaeological digs or surveying historic buildings.
I note from the web page that one of the partners for this grants programme is the UWE in Bristol. It's also in support of a BBC series that's in development.
I think that there's definite potential for projects that some of our volunteers are working on to get funding here, especially the partnership that HJ Mitchell and Rock drum have developed with the Herbert Art Gallery & Museum in Coventry.
I'm good friends with a couple of people at the HLF so I'll have a chat with them and see if I can get a steer on the kind of things they are particularly keen to fund.

And I am close to people at UWE at Pro-Vice Chancellor level, lecturer level etc
So I'd be happy to help anyone embarking on this.

Excellent stuff. I've just been in touch with their Business Development Manager who is going to pop over to the office next week. If anyone has any questions they'd like me to put to him please do let me know.
Thanks,
Stevie
