Building on the work of the Walsall Heritage Strategy (2021-2026), the grants are designed to provide local organisations with the opportunity to explore new partnerships and project ideas. They will support organisations to work collaboratively to explore how heritage can connect people and communities, inspire others, build pride and celebrate the borough’s rich heritage. A maximum of £4,000 per project will be available, with the expectation that five applications will be successful.
“ We’re looking forward to seeing organisations across the Borough come together to deliver exciting new projects to be enjoyed by Walsall’s communities and further afield. Great progress has been made over the delivery of our Heritage Strategy, and our local communities have been key to this. We look forward to seeing the proposals submitted by our local partners. “
