  • Deliver an inclusive threeyear programme of heritageled engagement, volunteering and skills development which reaches diverse audiences often underrepresented within heritage
  • Enable us to expand the scale and scope of service delivery to meet local need

  • Under 13s
  • Local vulnerable families
year olds

  • LGBTQ+ community

Key themes of social justice, social change, music, and childhood will be explored through an exciting programme of participatory activities and events, as well as new interpretation that will bring to life the currently hidden stories in the archive, stimulatingdiscussion and debate about the past, present and future.
