A collections of Edis' photographic prints, negatives and autochromes (the first true colour photographs) is being offered for sale to Cromer Museum. Display work is most significant part of the project with redisplay of a room in Cromer Museum to feature the works
- Key Stage 3 printed learning resource to address issues relating to citizenship using Mary Seacole as the starting point. This will connect her story of achievement with other inspirational individuals within the Gallery’s 19th and 20th century collections, who serve as a role model for young people off-site in the classroom. This will provide a thematic route searching up to 30 portraits reflecting on cultural diversity with contextual narratives, biographies and associated activity ideas At the heart of this project is the plan to acquire the only substantial portrait of Mary Seacole for the National Portrait Gallery’s Primary Collection. As part of our Collection this portrait would be on display in the Victorian Galleries over time, as well as featuring in other exhibitions, displays and loans at the Gallery and in other museums and galleries. There is no better place for the only known painted portrait of Mary Seacole to be housed. It is vital to the Gallery’s mission for us to be able to acquire and display this picture. Being part of our Collection will ensure it is on permanent public display for years to come Once acquired for the Collection, the portrait would also serve as a focus for a number of Gallery programmes and activities to meet ongoing interest in Mary Seacole amongst existing audiences. It would also enable us to develop new on-site and off-site learning opportunities and resources for schools based on Mary Seacole as part of a wider programme of activity which includes other inspirational stories of British achievement.
- Shift in the focus of what museums acquire Audiences, participation, development Skills development Partnerships Shifting museum’s collecting focus
- Shetland Museum and Archives - S ustainable materials and traditional craftsmanship were used to create the building, which was designed to mirror the original boat building sheds. Other things to consider - Energy efficiency, Renewable energy, Water, Building materials, Construction waste, Soil, including peat, Timber, Biodiversity, Visitor transport
- The recently announced change in our share of good causes income – from 16.7% to 20% - means that provided strong ticket sales continue we expect to have a budget of around £300m a year from 2012-2013 onward (compared with the £180m we had in 2009-2010) Through this consultation we are asking for your views on how we can best respond to help you through the changes in the funding environment for heritage over the next few years, and to other emerging opportunities and challenges What should HLF continue doing? What should we stop doing? And in what areas or activities might we need to make changes? This presentation gives a brief overview of the consultation content. We encourage everyone to respond to the consultation online at hlf.org.uk.
- Our three strategic aims of ‘conservation’, ‘participation’ and ‘learning’ have driven a progressive agenda for heritage since 2002. We are proud of the way our funding has allowed more people to engage with and learn about heritage, and has opened up more of our heritage for everyone to enjoy. We think this integrated approach remains the right one for a Lottery funder, and distinguishes our role from that of others. We plan to continue with this strategic direction in future, but believe we could simplify how we express this by adopting a single strategic aim. Every project we fund should be able to show how it is making a positive and lasting difference for heritage and people . This would underpin all of our grant programmes and initiatives and should provide a more straightforward approach to our application and assessment process. We are inviting comments on this in the consultation.
- We anticipate making grants of all sizes from £3,000 to over £5 million, combining open application funding opportunities with strategic programmes and targeted initiatives. Decisions on our main open programme - Heritage Grants - up to £1 million will continue to be made by local decision makers on our committees around the UK. We are asking for comments on the overall balance between the amount of money we invest in open programmes and targeted initiatives. For example, in 2010-2011 we expect to make awards totalling around £128m through our open programmes (Heritage Grants and Your Heritage) and £70m through targeted programmes and strategic initiatives. We could also extend our approach to targeting funding and solicit applications more frequently (that is, invite applications from specific organisations for ring-fenced sums of money.) This could help to focus our funding on strategic priorities for heritage, in partnership with others, but could reduce the amount of money available through open programmes. We welcome views on this balance and on our role. We could also consider giving more priority to heritage identified as ‘at risk’. Again, we are asking to what extent you agree we should do this.
- Financial sustainability is a critical issue for many heritage organisations in the current climate, and many projects we are supporting now face more challenges in covering their future operating costs. We are able to fund endowments alongside a capital project or purchase of a major heritage asset, though have rarely done so in the past, because endowments need to be substantial to have a material effect on running costs. We are asking whether we should revisit our approach to endowments, and if so in what circumstances should we consider offering them? We think we could also do more to build the skills and capacity of voluntary heritage organisations, offering some time-limited funding to help organisations with responsibilities for heritage to develop and thrive. We would like comments on what our role should be in helping to build the financial sustainability of organisations in the sector. And we want to encourage more private giving to heritage. The consultation includes some ways in which we might do this, for example establishing a match funding scheme. We’d like your views on how we could practically and effectively incentivise more people to consider giving – of both time and money - to heritage.
- Finally, we’ve identified a number of areas where our funding could respond to a range of new opportunities or challenges. For example, climate change remains one of the biggest threats to the UK’s heritage and we think there’s more we can do to encourage our applicants to consider the environmental risks and impacts of their projects. We describe some specific proposals in the consultation. We’re excited by the developments in technology that are making digital heritage a part of everyday life - we want to know how we can best support innovation in digital projects to develop content and deliver it to new audiences in new ways - and what types of heritage should be a priority to be made more widely available through digitisation. Our Skills for the Future programme launched last year attracted many more high-quality applications than we had originally expected and we eventually awarded over three times the original budget – we’re asking whether this high level of demand continues, whether we should run this programme again, and if so, what skills it should focus on.
