Description

The Heritage Fund is looking to appoint an innovation support partner to provide a tailored programme of non-financial support for heritage organisations as part of a future pilot initiative.

As part of our wider work to bolster cross-sector recovery and long-term resilience, this forthcoming innovation programme will seek to help UK heritage to explore, develop and test new approaches that have the potential to respond to long-range heritage workforce challenges. Discovery research which engaged with sector representatives evidenced workforce challenges as a consistent, persistent, and widespread theme across all heritage sectors with clear opportunities to experiment with new models of working and thinking.

As the first step, we want to provide experimenting practitioners from any sphere of UK heritage with a structured programme of support providing access to the time, skills, learning and peer support needed to stimulate and incubate new ideas for future heritage working practices.
This initial commission spans two phases:
• Pre-application workshops (May and October 2022)
• Cohort content design and facilitation across the two cohorts (August 2022 - June 2023)
NB: We anticipate two cohorts consisting of approximately 17 organisations (34 in total), will be awarded pilot funding by the Heritage Fund. Each cohort will work intensively with the innovation support partner over the initial 6 month period of their grant so that they are prepared and ready to prototype and test their ideas if further funding is secured.

£90,000K (inclusive of VAT and expenses)
