New Community Access
Scheme
As part of the National Lottery Heritage Fund
grand to improve the accessibility and learning and engagement at
Leighton House Museum, we are planning a new programme for
community voluntary groups to access and engage with the museum’s
permanent collection.
The Community Access Scheme
is a programme for adult and family community voluntary groups
/ charities, informal education or wellbeing support providers
based local to Leighton House Museum. We are particularly
interested in engaging with groups that do not visit museums
regularly but could benefit from this new programme through
admission free of charge and access to our permanent collection,
stories and historical spaces in a way that is meaningful and
relevant to the groups.
We will provide a free one-day training to the
Community Groups Leaders to encourage and support them to lead
visits of their group to the museum.
The Community Access Scheme at Leighton House
Museum will be launched on Tuesday 16 April, in a Community Groups
Networking event.
To find out more about the scheme and to
register your interest to join the launch event please contact our
Community Engagement Officer, Jana Haragalova on jana.haragalova@rbkc.gov.uk
