Lottery Heritage Fund bid

To help us re-engage and rebuild relationships we have submitted a £36,200 bid to the National Lottery Heritage Fund’s Covid Recovery scheme.  This will allow us to take on a Community Engagement & Research Worker, whose role will be to support the Trustees and volunteer team and to facilitate a series of events and activities so that we can attract more visitors – and hopefully more volunteers to help with the maintenance, development and stewardship of the site.  Part of our plan is to start a Local History Group to involve the local community in researching archive material and developing ideas for display and exhibitions.  We will hear if we have been successful by the beginning of April.
