Historic England is launching its next round of History in the Making funding for eligible youth-led organisations.

Participants are invited to commemorate history that matters to them in the place they live, from immersive walking tours to artworks, young people use creativity to connect to their place. 95% of participants developed new skills after taking part in the programme, 93% felt more motivated to participate in community activities and 83% increased in confidence.

Youth empowerment is built into the programme throughout. Historic England's panel of Young Advisers help decide who and what we fund.

It was a lovely opportunity to come together, celebrate the difference volunteers make and show how much their time, care and commitment are valued.

A huge thank you to everyone who helped make the afternoon so special, including Tesco March (Kelly in the Community), Greggs March, Octavius, Greeting Card Shop March, Cassanos Bar & Nightclub, Support Cambridgeshire, March Armed Forces & Veterans Hub, and Maureen and Kathy, local singers from Fenland, for their generous support.
