In the North East we are keen to work with local and regional groups of all kinds to develop projects which will create opportunities for people to get involved with and learn about their heritage. We are especially keen to hear from organisations who have not applied to us before.
We have identified groups that represent Black, Asian and minority ethnic (BAME) communities as a priority for our help because we know these groups have had less funding from us in the past. We are also interested in projects from heritage organisations seeking to attract new audiences from under-represented and diverse communities.
If you are from a community group, or a heritage organisation with a BAME-focused project, and would like to discuss your ideas for a heritage project large or small, please get in touch with Ellen Creighton on 0191 255 7577 or email
