Community Hub Project Grants

The National Archives offers grants up to £30,000 for community heritage projects. You need at least one heritage organisation (like a museum, library, or archive) working with one community group. Projects must be designed together with the community taking the lead. The money supports research, skills training, and creating lasting resources that include diverse voices. Projects should focus on inclusion and long-term impact. Funding ranges from £500 to £30,000. The deadline is 13 June 2026.

This grant is for partnerships between heritage organisations (museums, libraries, archives) and community groups. You need at least one organisation from each type working together. The community group should lead the project design and delivery.

Project Grants of up to £30,000 fund substantial, collaborative projects between at least one GLAM (Galleries, Libraries, Archives and Museums) or Heritage organisation and one community group. These grants support in-depth research, skills development, and the creation of lasting resources that reflect diverse voices and experiences. Projects should be co-designed and community-led, with a focus on inclusion, sustainability, and impact. Whether building upon a Seed Corn project or starting fresh, Project Grants are intended to create meaningful change and long-term value for both communities and institutions.
