Heritage Lottery Fund grants to help get young people involved in examining their heritage
Funding Grants of between £3,000 and £25,000 are available for projects.
Funder The Heritage Lottery Fund
Aim To get young people actively involved in examining their heritage. The fund promotes the idea that heritage is about more than just stately homes. It provides money to set up projects that are based on young people's own interests and ideas.
Who can apply? Projects must relate to the varied heritage of the UK and involve young people aged 13 to 25, and they must be a partnership between youth groups and at least one "heritage partner", such as a museum or local history group. Projects will need to show how young people are involved in managing the project.
