Purpose
Cornwall Heritage Trust (CHT) may give financial support for transport to enable primary schools to make visits to heritage sites or undertake visits which have a purpose of developing awareness and appreciation of Cornish heritage.
Where do we support
We support visits to a range of heritage sites in Cornwall, and also offer free workshops at Cornwall Heritage Trust sites.
If visiting a Cornwall Heritage Trust site, please note we can support both Primary and Secondary trips.
This fund is oversubscribed, we will therefore be evaluating applications based on the strength of the trips link to Cornwall’s heritage.
- Grant applications can be submitted up to four months in advance and must be received within a month of the date of the trip. Please note, we are not able to fund trips retrospectively.
- Schools may apply as many times as they wish, but only once for a single class in any financial year. Please note we do have a cap per school.
- Make your request concise, but clearly show the Cornish heritage aims of the trip.
- CHT funding is not available to meet administration or teacher costs.
- CHT’s ability to give support depends on the funds that it has at its disposal at any one time and the extent to which the application supports heritage education.
- If unsuccessful, you are welcome to apply for a different visit, but we will not accept applications for a visit previously declined.
- An article or report from the trip for our newsletter and website along with a full size photograph/picture and text suitable for use on social media; schools are responsible for ensuring that all images sent to CHT have been passed for safeguarding and child protection considerations.
- The name and logo of CHT must appear on project-related publications.
- We expect public acknowledgement of the support CHT has given e.g. on your newsletter, social media and website. Please tag us if using social media.
Terms
In return for a grant, CHT expects the following:
Please note the grant funds will not be paid until these are received or if they are not received within one month of the trip.
Funds must be claimed within one month of the date of the trip due to the high level of demand for support.
