The Resilient Heritage programme is a single-round programme that will provide grants of between £3,000 and £250,000. It is available to organisations in the UK who want to build their capacity or achieve significant strategic change - through acquiring new skills or knowledge, or new models of governance, leadership, business and income - in order to improve management of heritage for the long term.

The Mentor will provide advice and guidance to the project relevant to a particular area(s) of expertise. Mentors are expected to be recognised experts in their field, willing to engage with applicants and grantees to guide them towards achieving best practice.

Individuals will need to demonstrate relevant high level knowledge and experience in their particular specialist field along with demonstrable mentoring capabilities.

A proven track record of advising on and mentoring in one or more type of heritage setting is desirable.
