The History in the Making fund is being created to give young people living in deprived areas the opportunity to explore and celebrate untold local histories in their local area.
The fund will enable underrepresented young people from across England (aged 13-25) to research, discover and mark a part of their local heritage that has been overlooked or forgotten.
They are inviting applications from youth groups who want to explore fascinating local stories and who have innovative ideas for place markers to commemorate them so these histories can be shared with the whole community.
There is funding available for up to 15 projects across England and the successful applications will be chosen with the help of Historic England’s panel of young advisers who are aged (18-25).
Droitwich, Evesham and the Villages is an area that is abundant with local history, and I encourage any of my constituents who may be interested in this opportunity to apply.
