Grants from the Allen Grove Local History Fund

The late Allen Grove left a legacy to the Kent Archaeological Society to establish this fund to be used for the purposes of research, preservation and enjoyment of local history. The trustees will consider applications for grants for any project with one or more of these purposes. Projects may be practical ones such as preservation, publication and education as well as research.

Grants may be made to societies and groups as well as to individuals and are not restricted to members of the Kent Archaeological Society. They are usually around £200 to £1000 each but the trustees would consider a larger grant for a particularly imaginative or innovative project which might not be able to proceed without the grant. They would welcome applications as the number has declined recently. Awards may not be announced until the summer of 2009.

Applications must be submitted, on the official application form, by the 31st March 2009. Application forms and further information may be obtained from: The Hon. General Secretary: Mr A. Moffat, Three Elms, Woodlands Lane, Shorne, Gravesend, DA12 3HH or by email to secretary@kentarchaeology.org.uk. A form can be downloaded from the website at www.kentarchaeology.org.uk.
