Editor's Notes
- We can fund projects which focus on the First World War under four of our grant programmes. Please refer to the ‘Understanding the First World War’ leaflets which include lots of examples of projects we’ve funded, at all levels.
- Private owners of heritage
- 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.
- The heritage of the First World War ranges from the experiences of soldiers, women, children and conscientious objectors, through to places, objects and literature. The long-term impacts of the war mean that its heritage is not confined to the events of 1914-1918, but includes commemorations, memorials, films, artworks as well as any of the changes it brought about.Here are some examples of the heritage that your project might explore.
- One of the most famous Scottish Women of World War 1 was Dr. Elsie Inglis who has gone down in History as a figurehead for the women’s hospital movement. However little was known of the other women who gave their time and for some sacrificed their lives to help soldiers and allies throughout the Great War. In Serbia they are widely celebrated and there are statues and streets dedicated to the women. This project will carry out research to and gather together information on the lives of the women and produce materials to present to schools, colleges and communities throughout Scotland
- Using the lenses of social, cultural, employment, geography and bio medical science this project will explore how world war one was responsible for the rise of awareness, and progress in the "normalisation" of disability. Involving local communities, in and around Edinburgh to locate memories, as well as physical artefacts that speak to how society had to change in order to reintegrate large numbers of people with a vast array of physical and mental impairments. Make connections from present day struggles for rights and freedoms, back through history to the men and women who were left impaired after the end of the great war. Locate and explore physical locations such as the hospital at Craiglochart which played an important part in the cultural, medical, and social history of Edinburgh in particular and the world wide struggle for a fairer society.
- Project title:Huddersfield Rugby League: a Lasting LegacyApplicant:Sporting Pride Community TrustGrant awarded:£99,800 (75%)Project length:May 2012 – November 2014 (2 years 6 months) 1. The heritage focus of the projectVolunteers of all ages in Huddersfield are researching the history of rugby league in their area, in particular the impact that the war had on their local club, from the life of star team member and soldier Douglas Clark to recruitment efforts aimed at enlisting rugby players. 2.What the project did With the help of the Western Front Association, the project collected, recorded and displayed documents, photographs and oral histories relating to Huddersfield’s sporting history and the impact of the First World War upon it. These stories were shared on the project website (www.hudderfieldrlheritage.co.uk) and will also be the basis of the project’s exhibition at Huddersfield’s local history museum, libraries and sports clubs. A book is to be produced on Huddersfield in the First World War - the first such publication. A local history study unit for primary schools on the history of Huddersfield in the First War will be written, and a heritage trail through local sites of significance during the First World War produced. 3. Outcomes for heritage Memories of the people of Huddersfield, relating to the sporting heritage of rugby league and stories about the First World War have been recorded for the future. For example, the diary of Douglas Clark, rugby player and soldier on the Western Front, was transcribed for the first time, and may become the basis for a children’s drama.The hidden stories behind conscientious objection in Huddersfield will be made accessible through the project website and the publication on Huddersfield in the First World War.Huddersfield-related items in the national Rugby League archive have been indexed, creating an accessible and user-friendly archive for Huddersfield for the first time.Artefacts and archive material donated to the project will have been conserved to a high standard and put on display in local venues. 4. Outcomes for people People learned more about Huddersfield’s past, not only its sporting heritage but also the impact of the First World War on the town, especially on the rugby team members and their families. Training in heritage skills benefitted many people. 20 volunteers gained skills in archive recording, conservation and oral history techniques. Primary school children will be more aware of the part played by their own town in a major world conflict.Many people, not previously involved in rugby league, enjoyed the project, donating artefacts, researching newspaper archives and participating in events and activities. 5. Outcomes for communities The project developed community reminiscence boxes for hospitals, care homes and community health groups, bringing Huddersfield’s sporting heritage to an audience which would otherwise be unable to access it. In particular, sporting reminiscence is now being used as therapy for people with dementia. View further details about the outcomes we want to achieve for heritage, people and communities 6. Lessons learnt The First World War aspects of the project were integrated from the beginning. Working with the right partner helped with this, with input from the Western Front Association being invaluable in uncovering resources and local stories.Flexibility is essential. It’s important to make careful plans, but be ready to adapt your approach, with HLF’s agreement, if unexpected opportunities arise. It’s important to allow for some slack in a timetable to allow you to take up these opportunities, and to do full justice to your activity plans.It is very important to enthuse your volunteer group at the very beginning, and to ensure there is enough interesting activity to keep them engaged from the start, to prevent people from dropping out. Allow volunteers to follow their interests and to do what they enjoy doing or are good at.
