I note from the web page that one of the partners for this grants
programme is the UWE in Bristol. It's also in support of a BBC series
that's in development.
I think that there's definite potential for projects that some of our
volunteers are working on to get funding here, especially the
partnership that HJ Mitchell and Rock drum have developed with the
Herbert Art Gallery & Museum in Coventry.
I'm good friends with a couple of people at the HLF so I'll have a chat
with them and see if I can get a steer on the kind of things they are
particularly keen to fund.
