In this newsletter, we can reveal that we have secured funding for Growing Together, the continuation and next stage of Travelling Together!

We are excited to announce that we have been successful in our application to the National Lottery Heritage Fund for further EDI support for museums.

September marks the start of a new season, as we look ahead to the remainder of the year. What better way to mark a new season than with the launch of our autumn SW Museum Skills programme?

This month, we're launching our Volunteering Fit for the Future programme and we've also welcomed a new MDO Hampshire and the Isle of Wight.

Our Volunteering for the Future programme is back for 2024!

Just over £18,000 has been awarded to seven museums across the South West of England in On Display! Grants.

Round one of the Capacity Builder grant has awarded 10 grants to museums across the South West to help develop the skills and experiences of their staff and volunteers.

A new series of case studies which document the experience of museums participating in the Travelling Together project is now available in our resources.

You only have two weeks to submit your Expression of Interest for the Banish the Backlog programme, don't miss out! We're also celebrating our Small Open Grants and the Kings Award for Voluntary Service.

16 museums were awarded Small Open Grants earlier in June, so we thought we’d look at how they’ll use their grants to improve and develop their offer for their local communities.
