Heritage Lottery Fund (HLF)
Skills
for the Future Programme
NB
This programme is currently closed but details are left here
for future information
This is a new £5million
grant programme that will deliver up to 1,000 paid training
opportunities for people across the UK seeking a career in
heritage.
What
is the funding for?
Skills for the
Future will fund projects which provide paid training placements
to meet a skills gap in the heritage sector, and fully support
trainees to learn practical skills eg dry stone walling, masonry
skils etc.
It will fund traditional
conservation training and also the skills needed to engage
people with heritage. This could include the skills to deliver
education, community participation or volunteering programmes,
or to use new media and technology to open up heritage.
How much
is available?
From £100,000
to £1 million
Who can
apply
They welcome applications
from organisations which can deliver training opportunities
in heritage that are additional to current or recent provision.
Partnerships – for example of community and voluntary
organisations, professional bodies and learning and training
providers – can also apply.
They give priority
to not-for-profit organisations. If private sector organisations
are involved, we expect the public benefit to be greater than
any private gain
How to
apply
There is only one opportunity to apply to Skills for the Future.
The closing date is 12 noon on 19 March 2010. You can now
register and apply online. Awards will be made in May 2010.
