By the looks of the weather, summer is well and truly here, so what better time is there to launch our summer SW Museum Skills programme? Find national training programmes as well as forums and essential training now available to book in this newsletter.

Mark your diaries – our Capacity Builder and On Display! grants close on Monday 19 May. Get your museum’s application in before it’s too late! And don’t forget, you can always ask your local Museum Development Officer to check it over before submission.

Lastly, we have an update from our new Gloucestershire Museum Development Officer, Julie Taylor Kent, as she inputs on a new cultural strategy for Gloucester.
