As part of our 2015-18 activity plan we are working closely with the county Museum Development Officers to support museums with their forward planning process. This support comes in two forms:

• Two forward planning seminars (Saffron Walden Museum on 28th October and Stevenage Museum on 5th November)
• Small grants of up to £1000 (deadline for applications 5pm on Friday 20th November)

The seminars, delivered by experienced museum consultant Sam Hunt, will offer advice and guidance on making the most of the forward planning process, practical help with involving your staff, volunteers and stakeholders, advice on Accreditation requirements and further sources of support. Click the links below for further information and booking:

• 28th October, Saffron Walden Museum
• 5th November, Stevenage Museum

We will also be offering guidance on applying for an Effective Forward Planning grant. Visit the Grants & Funding page for further information and to download the grants guidance document and an application form.
