This month, we’re checking in with some of the museums who have been awarded our green grants. Our Green Grants were created using funds from Arts Council England to support museums to build knowledge and understanding of the impact of the climate emergency and explore positive actions with their communities. The scheme has funded a diverse range of projects that will engage with the climate emergency in a variety of different ways.

In addition, we are highlighting our last remaining spaces on the Museum Skills Autumn Programme, which covers a wide range of specialist areas. There isn’t much time left to book, as some sessions start next week!

We are also thrilled to introduce new members of the South West Museum Development Strategic Advisory Group. Jess Hoare and Sarah Cheers bring a wealth of experience and expertise to the board.

Finally, we have our usual round-up of news, specialist support and grant opportunities, including the next instalment of our brand-new regular green newsletter feature: Green Action.
