Editor's Notes

  1. Small grants programme - £3,000 -£10,000It’s at the same level as Sharing Heritage – all First World War projects at this level should come under this programme, not Sharing Heritage. Rolling programme - 8 week assessment. We will be funding good applications that involve people of all ages, however, if we are looking at projects in competition, then we will prioritise those that involve young people. (aged 11-25)We will fund activity and travel abroad to help people understand more about the nature and impact of this global war – see FAQs for more information about this.The programme will run until 2019. We are still funding First World War projects under other programmes – we have already spent more than £13million on First World War projects.
