The Chiltern Open Air Museum has been awarded a grant of £239,949 from The National Lottery Heritage Fund to support its Pathways to Heritage project.
Located in Chalfont St Peter, the museum will fund four paid traineeships, providing hands-on experience and professional development in heritage management.
Martin Curtis, chief executive at Chiltern Open Air Museum, said: “We are thrilled to receive this support. This funding will allow us to open doors – both figuratively and literally – making heritage more accessible to all visitors, while also nurturing the next generation of heritage professionals.”
Chiltern Open Air Museum aims to preserve the history of the Chilterns through rescued historic buildings and immersive experiences.
Stuart McLeod, director at The National Lottery Heritage Fund, said: “We are delighted to support this project, which thanks to money raised by National Lottery players, will mean that more people will be able to get involved with, protect, and learn about the exciting heritage right on their doorstep.”
Applications for the traineeships are now open. For further details, visit www.coam.org.uk
