Building on the success of their first round of Everyday Heritage Grants in 2022, Historic England continue to be interested in funding projects that celebrate working class histories and the historic places that make up everyday life.
The grants are for creative projects that focus on heritage connecting people to historic places, specifically those people and places that are overlooked or underrepresented.
Historic England will accept proposals for projects with costs of up to £25,000 but are also keen to fund a number of smaller projects up to £10,000.
All organisations and individuals can apply, including community interest groups, charities, and local authorities. Historic England are especially interested in applications from groups and individuals that are not heritage organisations but can deliver heritage projects. While they are willing to fund proposals with links to established heritage institutions, they are especially interested in funding community-led projects. Applications close on 7 October 2024.
Richard Fuller MP said:
This is a great opportunity to help community organisations uncover and share hidden histories through the stories of ordinary people and places.
Historic England is looking for creative projects which bring communities together, celebrating the people and places at the heart of our history that have shaped our local identity and are integral to our community.
