    SHETLAND AMENITY TRUST Shetland Amenity Trust Annual Report 2015/2016 1 SHETLAND AMENITY TRUST INTRODUCTION July 2015 saw the launch of the €3.92 million Follow The Vikings project . Shetland Amenity Trust is the lead partner in this exciting transnational project which has 15 full partners and 10 associate partners with a geographical spread over 13 countries. The 4-year project will celebrate Viking heritage throughout Europe and will have a particular emphasis on creativity and culture, including the creation of a website and an international touring event. There will also be an emphasis on training volunteers at a local level and skills exchange. The project will seek to develop audiences through a variety of new technologies, build business models through sharing best practice and will strengthen the international network of professionals and institutions working in the field of Viking heritage. As we approach the end of the year, the prospect of further reductions in core funding will bring new challenges to the Trust in its role as a champion of Shetland’s Culture and Heritage. We are confident that we will be able to continue to deliver a high quality service to Shetland. 2 SHETLAND AMENITY TRUST TRUST OBJECTIVES General The Trust objectives are: At the Trust’s AGM in September 2015 Mr L. Johnston retired from the Trust. A secret ballot was held at which (a) The protection, improvement and enhancement 4 nominations were considered and Mr A. Blackadder, Mr of buildings and artefacts of architectural, historical, B. Gregson and Mr J. Henry were re-elected as Trustees educational or other interest in Shetland with a view and Mr A.
