Description

The University of Bedfordshire's Arts and Culture Projects team is seeking an evaluator to assess the impact of Heritage Impact Accelerator and Heritage Enterprise Hub within Luton, an area of focus for the National Lottery Heritage Fund.

Heritage Impact Accelerator offers a 10-month incubator Programme that is delivered to two cohorts between 2021 and 2023. Working in the context of COVID-19, it aims to build the capacity of
12 Luton-based practitioners and/or organisations to deliver enhanced community heritage projects, develop new cultural and cross-sector partnerships and increase levels of
contributed and earned income.

The Heritage Enterprise and Education Hub takes on the learnings of the team's TestBeds: Artist's Enterprise Zone that was initially funded by Arts Council England through the Luton
Investment Programme. It provides a programme of free needs- driven online and physical training sessions, events and toolkits. Delivered across Bedfordshire, the programme works in dialogue
with Heritage Impact Accelerator participants, regional delivery partners and colleagues from across the University's academic faculties and professional departments.
