Grant News
The Museums Association, in partnership with the Julia Rausing Trust, has launched a new fund to support health and wellbeing programmes in museums across the UK.
The Health & Wellbeing in Museums Fund will award approximately ten grants of between £50,000 and £75,000 to help museums build on their existing health and wellbeing work.
Funded projects may include mental health support, creative therapies, initiatives to reduce loneliness, physical health activities, and partnerships with healthcare or community organisations.
Programmes should focus on vulnerable groups, such as older adults, refugees, or people with long-term conditions.
Staff training and development to enhance wellbeing work may also be supported.
Applicants should have:
- a proven track record for the work they are doing
- a strategic commitment to health and wellbeing at their museum
- a clear idea of how they would like to develop their work
Applicants should complete an eligibility quiz in the first instance, with final applications submitted by the 26th June 2025.
