Historic England has recently announced a major new initiative Everyday Heritage Grants: Celebrating Working Class Histories. These grants will fund community-led projects that focus on “heritage that links people to overlooked historic places, with a particular interest in recognising and celebrating working class histories”.
Community and heritage organisations can apply for grants up to £25,000. There is a focus on sharing untold stories and encouraging volunteering.
Applications open: Wednesday 23 February
Closing date: Monday 23 May
