Emergency Appeals during Lockdown

The list appears to be England-only. Presumably the Ffestiniog/WHR may be covered under a separate scheme for Wales?

 

yes there is and due to be announced at end of the month

 

Some interesting omissions: Great Central; East Somerset; East Lancs. Wonder why they didn’t apply/qualify

 

The LT Museum has received £1.75 million from the Culture Recovery Fund https://www.facebook.com/ltmuseum/photos/a.164737854352/10157853819404353/

 

Update...
Published October 22, 2020 | By GCR Admin
The Directors and Management of The Great Central Railway are delighted to announce that The National Lottery Heritage Fund have awarded £250,000 of support to the Railway from the Heritage Emergency Fund, which was set up to assist heritage organizations at risk due to the Covid-19 pandemic.

 

Data for CRF grants distributed by Arts Council England, covers the first two rounds of under £1 million and the first round of £1-3 million https://www.artscouncil.org.uk/publication/culture-recovery-fund-data

I've noticed:
Round 1 of under £1 million
Amberley Museum & Heritage Centre £80,000
Beamish Museum £970,000
Bressingham Steam Museum £193,409

Round 2 of under £1 million
Didcot Railway Centre £184,939
East Anglia Transport Museum £50,000
Midland Railway Trust £149,156

Round 1 of £1-3 Million
London Transport Museum £1,750,000

 

Updated workbook attached.

 

Is that another scheme again - not the same scheme as the DCMS or HLF schemes?

It looks to be, is it for accredited museums perhaps?

 

I'm 99% certain it's the same. The Culture Recovery Fund is administered at arm's length for DCMS by NLHF and the Arts Council. It might be a different sub-pot, but I don't know.

There is another set of grants due to be announced in the first 2 weeks of November, lets hope some railways are going to benefit

The Wales scheme is being administered separately so no announcements yet about whether Welsh lines will get anything under the scheme.

 

I missed a grant from the Historic England Covid-19 Emergency Heritage at Risk Response Fund for Amberley Museum of £25,663

 

Another fund! I wasn't aware of this one (though it strikes me as bonkers to have multiple funds like this, with another DCMS body). Amberley did well to get two grants. Any others you're aware of?

Thanks

Patrick

 

Disappointing that there is nothing so far for many of the smaller heritage railways. In my neck of the woods, nought for the Avon Valley, East Somerset, Dean Forest, Swindon & Cricklade & S&DRHT (Midsomer-Norton).

I did hear that grants may be restricted to organisations that had previously had some form of grant, but don't know the details.

 

Talyllyn have a Welsh Cultural Recovery Fund Grant of £150,000 https://www.facebook.com/167680895449/posts/10159443471425450/
