As part of Intangible Cultural Heritage Project, funded by National Lottery Heritage Fund, it is our mission to support African, African-Caribbean and South Asian heritage organisations in the region with their needs to thrive and be sustainable and connected in the sector. In this workshop, the attendees had an opportunity to consider which income streams and funding sources are appropriate for their creative heritage enterprise, and what they need to do to position your enterprise on a path towards success.
