Read the full April Newsletter from South West Museum Development
This April we have a bumper issue of our newsletter, as we bring you not one, not two, but three grant programmes launching this month!
On Display! is back again this year – but not as you know it. With thanks to funding from the Department for Digital, Culture, Media & Sport (DCMS), On Display! will help museums improve the display and security of their collections. Round one of 2025’s Capacity Builder grants is opening on Monday 28 April and closing on Monday 19 May. To support museums in commemorating 80 years since Victory in Europe Day and Victory in Japan Day, DCMS has announced a one-off grant scheme: Victory 80 – Victory in Europe and Victory in Japan Commemoration Programme.
We also have a wrap up of the Volunteering Fit 4 the Future programme, where you can read about the outcomes of the programme and how the participating museums will be moving forward.
That’s not all, as we’re also announcing national Carbon Literacy and Collections Trust training, now available to book through our website. You can also find in this issue wider sector news and grants, as well as an update on museum Accreditation.
