  • Time and Tides - the Project
    Evaluation Report Contents 1. Introduction 2. Aims and achievements 3. Quantitative Monitoring Summary 4. Qualitative Feedback 5. Project Profile and Publicity 6. Lessons Learned 7. Future opportunities 1. Time and Tides - The project The Time and Tides project was a local history and community arts project funded by the Heritage Lottery Fund and Medway Council. It was designed to explore the local history, traditions and cultural customs of rural Medway with particular focus on the villages of Cuxton, High Halstow and Upnor, while providing local history learning and arts opportunities for people in the process. The project ran for one year from November 2011 until November 2012. The project was extremely popular, with over 1700 people engaging in the project in some way, including primary school children, teenagers, people of working age and older people. Levels of engagement ranged from people with a strong and existing interest in local history to those who had never taken part in heritage events before. Some people became core volunteers to the project, others enjoyed attending events and made a conscious effort to attend while others engaged on a more casual basis, dropping into occasional sessions or coming across an event or exhibition simply by chance. The Medway Area Medway is divided into the heavily populated towns of Rainham, Gillingham, Chatham, Rochester and Strood and the rural areas to the North and South of these towns. The three villages of High Halstow, Cuxton and Upnor are situated on the Medway Peninsula, a particularly rurally isolated area with little agriculture or industry covering two thirds of the Medway geographical area.
