Records at Risk has allocated its budget for this financial year (April 2024 – March 2025), and is closed for applications until it reopens on 1 April 2025. We would still like to hear from you if you are aware of a collection at risk or in peril during this time, as we may be able to provide non- financial support and guidance. Please contact us at archivegrants@nationalarchives.gov.uk if you know of an at-risk collection.

The Records at Risk Grants programme is delivered in collaboration with the British Records Association and the Business Archives Council, to provide support for urgent interventions to save significant physical and digital records facing immediate peril, across the UK. 

It provides grants of up to £5,000, to protect records of cultural and research value from premature destruction or prolonged neglect. 

You can find out more about this programme below.
