We run an annual programme of Engagement Grants to connect archives with their communities and the wider public, often aligning with key moments of national importance.

For the current round, we would like applications to the Engagement Grant scheme to address the theme of ‘Community’ by proposing projects that either reach out to new audiences or connect with old audiences in new ways. You might be inspired by the national commemorations for VE and VJ Day in 2025 – or by something completely different. We simply want to support engagement with archives that is meaningful for you, your place and your communities.

Grants of up to £3,000 will be available, with applications being accepted until 17:00 on Friday 17 January 2025.
