News Update for London's Museums @LondonMusDev E-update for London’s Museums – 10 June 2021 Museum Development London Recovery grants programme (£32k) supported by The Art Fund This programme, supported by The Art Fund, is designed to help museums to analyse and assess their current position and to identify priorities for activity to support post Covid recovery through a short, facilitated self-assessment process. Further to self-assessment and analysis 8 grants of up to £4000 will be available to successful participants. Further information and access to full guidance and application documents can be found here. Deadline for applications to the programme 05 July 2021. Museum Estate and Development Fund (MEND) The MEND grants scheme is an open-access capital fund targeted at non-national Accredited museums and local authorities based in England. Details of How to Apply are available on the ACE website. Closing date for applications: 05 July. As outlined in the ‘roadmap’ for England to move out of lockdown, museums are now able to open. The government has published the ‘COVID-19 Response - Spring 2021’ document, which outlines the plan in more detail. The move out of lockdown is reliant on four conditions which must be met before moving on a step – so these dates should be used as guides for the time being. Government has recently announced the Restart Grant scheme which supports businesses in the non-essential retail, hospitality, leisure, personal care and accommodation sectors with a one-off grant, to reopen safely as COVID-19 restrictions are lifted. The grants are available now through your local authorities and consist of either up to £6,000 in the non-essential retail sector (likely to reopen on 12th April) or up to £18,000 in the hospitality, museums, accommodation, leisure, personal care and gym sectors. You can find out more on the Gov.uk website and by contacting your local authority. The Government has updated regulations around the information that re- opened organisations must collect for Test and Trace. Venues which have re- opened must now ask every customer and visitor (over the age of 16) for their information for Test and Trace, unless those individuals have checked in using the NHS Covid-19 app. Designated venues in certain sectors that must have a system in place to request and record contact details of their customers, visitors and staff to help break the chains of transmission of coronavirus. You can find the information you should collect on the gov.uk website under ‘Information to collect’. You can find more information on these changes on the MA’s website. The National Museum Directors’ Council (NMDC) has updated the Good Practice Guidelines for Reopening Museums it produced with support from DCMS and the Museums and Galleries Working Group. This guidance is for museums that are planning to open in line with the Government’s roadmap out of the current coronavirus restrictions. There is also a related and accompanying checklist to the (original) Guidelines produced by AIM working with Museum Development England. If you would like help or advice with reopening, do contact your MDO. Government guidance on how organisations are expected to support the NHS Test and Trace for staff, customers and visitors is available on the Gov.uk website. Mayor of London Sadiq Khan has announced ‘Let’s Do London’ – the city’s largest ever domestic tourism campaign, aimed at fully reopening the city post- pandemic.This is about getting the message out to Londoners and people across the country that our capital stands ready to entertain, inspire and enthral once again. View here for further information. Art Fund – Reimagine Grants A new programme, Reimagine grants, have been developed in consultation with the sector and are designed to inspire creativity and increase stability. The aims of the programme are to support organisations as you transform your activities following the lockdowns and help build expertise, capacity, and connections to help achieve your aims for your organisation and your public. They have £2million available through Reimagine Grants in 2021. Small grants of £5,000 to £15,000, and large grants of £15,000 to £50,000 are available in three funding rounds. The first deadline is Monday 5 July. More details and full guidance can be found on their website. Headley Fellowships with Art Fund A third round of Headley Fellowships with Art Fund, which aim to support collections- based research and deepen expertise within museums has been launched. This programme gives curators working with all collections the time and resources to undertake research, develop their specialism and share knowledge with museum audiences and their colleagues in the sector. Each fellowship has a value of £27,500 to support up to 6 months of a curator’s time and the development of public and sector outputs including workshops, toolkits, exhibitions and public programmes. More details can be found on their website. Deadline: Friday 30 July Arts Council England’s relaunched National Lottery Project Grants have been designed to help fund organisations, creative practitioners and freelancers as quickly as possible. New supplementary guidance for museums can be found on their website. In addition, the relaxation of the need for 10% match funding has been extended until 31 August 2021, so if you don’t have the full 10% expected (or any match funding at all), you’ll still be able to apply. Further details about the National Lottery Project Grants can be found below and in this video. We have now started advertising further Skills Plus sessions for our 2021 – 2022 programme. We have just advertised new sessions on ‘An Introduction to the Spectrum Standard’ and ‘An Introduction to Fundraising from Different Communities’. London Heritage Volunteer Awards 2021 (LHVA) London Heritage Volunteering Group is proud to launch the London Heritage Volunteer Awards 2021. Anyone who has volunteered in a London heritage site at any time over the past two calendar years (1st June 2019 to 1st August 2021) can be nominated for a LHVA. Further information and guidance can be found here. 2 Closing date 01 August, 5pm.

Guidance is available for applicants, to help consider any changes or updates to applications and returns, as well as a recently published supplementary note, outlining prompts for all applicants – whether new or returning – to help them plan 3 and respond to Covid-19. All potential applicants should read both this note and the Accreditation guidance before applying or submitting a return. If you would like further advice around Accreditation, please do contact your MDO. Updates to Test and Trace requirements “Museum sector bodies have raised concerns about significant changes to the requirements for the UK Government’s NHS Test and Trace programme, which institutions in England will have to comply with when they reopen in May. The changes in procedure mean that all members of a visitor group age 16 and over will be obliged to provide their contact details; previously just one member was permitted do so on behalf of a group.” Read the full article on the MA’s website. You can find the information you should be collecting, when you re-open, on the gov.uk website under ‘Information to collect’. VisitEngland Covid-19 Consumer Sentiment Tracker VisitEngland has published wave 02 of their Consumer Sentiment Tracker which covers fieldwork conducted between 25-29 May. You can find this report, along with previous reports, on their website. Heritage Volunteering Group – Creating Capacity 2021 Rebuilding volunteering in the heritage sector post Covid The coronavirus outbreak has had a profound impact on the heritage sector, with many organisations spending much of 2020 with their doors closed. Volunteers are vital to enabling our organisations to heal from this and move forward.

    Leah Tether and Laura Chuhan Campbell Early Book Collections and Modern Audiences: Harnessing the Identity/ies of Book Collections as Collective Resources This article summarizes and contextualizes the discussions of a workshop held at Durham University in November 2018. In this workshop, participants (includ- ing academics, students, independent scholars, special and rare books librarians, and archivists) discussed the notion of the collection (that is, the identity of collection as a whole, rather than just its constituent parts), and its potential to serve as a means of engaging both scholarly and public audiences with early book cultures. This study sets out a series of considerations and questions that might be used when tackling such special collections engagement projects, including ones involving more modern collections than the case studies examined here. In November 2018, the Institute for Medieval and Early Modern Studies at Durham University kindly funded a workshop to investigate the ways in which contemporary audiences have been, are being, and can become engaged with medieval and early- modern book culture through the provision and distribution of key resources. These resources range from published books to digital artefacts and editions; from replica teaching kits—such as scriptorium suitcases—to physical archives and repositories.1 The aim of the workshop, which was led by one of this article’s two authors (Leah Tether), was to build a picture of best practice to inform the teaching and commu- 1. The authors are grateful to Durham’s Institute for Medieval and Early Modern Studies for fund- ing the workshop, and to the administrators of the Residential Research Library Fellowships (jointly organized by Ushaw College and Durham University) that enabled Leah Tether to spend time in Durham in November 2018.

  • V&A Innovative Leadership 2015/16 Programme
    V&A Innovative Leadership 2015/16 Programme 14th October 2015 - 20th July 2016 What participants say: “The innovative course is an excellent opportunity to take time out from usual hectic schedules to take stock and focus on vital leadership and management self-development. It also provides tools and material that have immediate value in terms of supporting solutions for organisational challenges, and long term sustainability.” “The programme provided the opportunity I had been looking for – time away from the day job to think hard about my practice as a museum professional, and in turn for my teams. I have come away from the programme inspired.” "In just a year I feel I have come a long way which is what I had hoped when I started the course. The course helped build my confidence and has made me realise my potential. It gave me the confidence to go for a promotion which I have since got." "This programme is refreshingly different from other offers in the UK in going beyond bite-sized management information: management and leadership are explored through inspirational lectures by leaders who provide an authentic insight into their work; several real-life assignments at the V&A and other culture institutions gave my fellow participants and me ample opportunity to practice and gain experience. I have met extraordinary people from institutions across the country, and formed strong links. The action learning sets have been one of the key ingredients in my opinion. My action learning set continues to meet: we learn from each other, and grow together." “It has improved my confidence which has in turn improved my effectiveness in dealing with challenging situations.
