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.  

Many museums are setting their sights on the school summer holidays, but we're looking ahead with our Talking Nature grants. In addition, we've now opened our SW Museum Skills summer tranche for bookings.

How to make the most of Volunteers' Week to celebrate your current ones and encourage new volunteers.

This month we have a bumper newsletter for you as we open On Display! and Capacity Builder grants, launch a new with Kids in Museums and open the Annual Museums Survey.

Say hello to three new faces who will be working with us to ensure that museums in Hampshire and the Isle of Wight receive support and guidance.
