Stories of Harrow – Apply for a Grant

A new project funded by the National Lottery Heritage Fund

Funding available to preserve the stories and lived experiences of communities in Harrow

Stories of Harrow is an exciting new project that will award 15 organisations grants of up to £10k, together with training and support to help preserve the heritage of communities in Harrow. It is being made possible thanks to funding from the National Lottery Heritage Fund and in collaboration with Harrow Council and Headstone Manor Museum.

What will the project look like?

Stories of Harrow is a combination of funding, training and support.  The 15 groups awarded grants will lead their own project and also work together to design a final showcase and sharing at Headstone Museum. We will find the experts to support you with training and guidance, and our project manager and evaluator are on hand to offer support.

We know that running a heritage project might be quite different from anything you’ve tackled before and you might not be ready to describe your idea just yet.
