The third round of a programme aimed at responding to the challenges and financial constraints currently facing heritage organisations will begin in October.

The Steps to Sustainability programme, delivered by the Social Enterprise Academy, will see 30 heritage organisations receive support to strengthen their strategic leadership and income-generating skills.

The programme’s previous two rounds supported 110 learners across the UK, with 86% reporting an increase in confidence when implementing an income generating idea.

Participating organisations will have the chance to apply for a funding grant of up to £10,000 to incentivise increased trading income during and immediately after the programme.

"With the additional impact of Covid-19, a culture of enterprise to build a sustainable and resilient heritage sector is needed now more than ever," a Social Enterprise Academy spokesperson said.
