Support is available
for community projects which explore, conserve and share the heritage of the
First World War. Examples of the heritage that projects might explore are as
follows:
- Local places with First
World War associations of any kind.
- Objects, photographs,
documents, books and newspapers which tell the stories of individuals and
communities involved in or affected by the war.
- Training trenches or
airfields.
- Buildings and structures
used in the war or affected by the war (eg factories or hospitals).
- Places, objects and
collections linked to the industrial, maritime and transport heritage of
the First World War.
- Memorials of all kinds,
including memorial gardens, commemorating lives lost in the war.
- Existing recordings of
people’s memories and experiences from the First World War.
- The memories and experiences
of people who were affected by the First World War after it happened, such
as the children of people involved.
- Art, literature, music,
theatre, film and popular culture focusing on the First World War, either
created during the war or in later years.
- Natural heritage and
landscapes affected by the war.
- Any of these types of
heritage created since the First World War that show its impact on the
United Kingdom and people currently living here.
Projects should
enable communities to understand more about the heritage of the First World War
and benefit a wide range of people. In particular, priority will be given to
projects that help young people aged 11 to 25 years to take an active part in
the Centenary commemorations.
Grants of between
£3,000 and £10,000 are available for not-for-profit organisations and
partnerships led by not-for-profit organisations in the UK.
Applications may be
submitted at any time until 2018.
