Please note in light of current changes the Heritage Council is reviewing its grants schemes and will be proposing a number of changes to existing schemes for 2010. Three schemes on Heritage Research, Heritage Management, and Heritage Education Community and Outreach will run in 2010. Work on the criteria and application forms is currently underway. Further information on these will be available during September. Please check back for further information or register for our online newsletter on the front page for updates.
