Grants

If you are involved in archaeology in our local region, and wish to undertake a project, or part of a project, but find yourself short of funds then the CBANW may be able to help.

We offer grants of up to £500 to assist individuals or groups within Cheshire, Greater Manchester, Lancashire and Merseyside to undertake work that they would not otherwise be able to afford.

Guidance

Examples of projects which may be suitable are:

Equipment for the study of a site of local significance, including field survey and/or excavation
Publication costs for a report on work carried out in the region by the applicant
Materials for a display on local history
Educational visits
Activities which will help young people and/or the community to be involved in the local archaeology

Examples of previous projects for which grants have been approved are:

Assistance towards the radio-carbon-dating of samples from the ironworking site that is being studied by Holcombe Moor Heritage Group
Support towards the programme “Emerging Archaeologists”, aimed at helping young people become Archaeologists, which is being set up by Liverpool Museum
