Historic England is inviting applications from youth groups who want to explore fascinating local stories and have innovative ideas for place markers to commemorate them so these histories can be shared with the whole community and beyond. The History in the Making fund will enable underrepresented young people aged 13 to 25 from across England to research, discover and mark a part of their local heritage that has been overlooked or forgotten.
Funding is available for up to 15 projects across England. The successful applications will be chosen with the help of Historic England’s panel of Young Advisers, aged 18 to 25. History in the Making was originally launched last year (2023) in northern England, with Historic England funding 11 projects. Young people living in deprived areas will be helped to explore and celebrate untold local histories thanks to the launch of a national grant scheme by Historic England.
