Creative Heritage Outreach
In 2022 the Museum was awarded a three-year National Lottery Heritage Fund grant to share Worcester porcelain’s food and drink related heritage through creative activities. The funding has allowed us to employ two Heritage Engagement Officers to take the Pop-up Museum out into local communities with creative sessions, supported by volunteers.
Just some of the amazing work we have been able to do has included taking creative heritage activities into
- Supported Living sites and Care homes Platform Housing Group
- Youth groups run by Worcester Community Trust, Perdiswell Young People’s Centre and Malvern Cube
- Community groups such as Headway, Joy Project, Branches Day Centre
- Gloverspiece School, Guides and Brownie Groups
- Creative activities at Worcester Show, Countrytastic and Worcester University
- Host an annual Museum Summer Open Day
The funding means that we have been able to involve local artists as well as original Royal Worcester workers in sharing their skills and exchanging memories, experiences and factory stories and continue to inspire creativity.
These community collaborations are made possible because of the generous support of National Lottery players.
