What is Routes2Roots?
Heritage
Lottery Fund West Midlands (HLF WM) have launched a new campaign called
#Routes2Roots. The campaign aims to inspire and challenge young people to
explore heritage, culture and identity and to raise awareness about the Young
Roots grant programme.
You
can apply to Young Roots (£10,000 - £50,000) for projects for young people,
aged 11-25, to explore the heritage that matters to them. Any not for profit
organisation can apply, there is no minimum match funding and you can get a
decision in just 8-10 weeks. Through these projects young people not only find
out about heritage but gain confidence and new skills from curating exhibitions
to film making.
Young
Roots projects have to be delivered by a partnership between youth and heritage
organisations. Youth organisations are anyone who works with young people.
Heritage organisations are those who have expert knowledge or resources on the
heritage you want to investigate.
How can we help?
Do you have an
idea for a project? Do you know a group of young people who may be interested?
Or do you need help finding a heritage or youth partner?
For free advice
on your ideas, how to apply and possible partners please send in a project
enquiry form through the Heritage Lottery Fund website www.hlf.org.uk/your-project-idea This
form is not part of the formal application process and is just a way to start a
conversation with us about your ideas.
