HLF Sustainable Impact project
In September 2018, Surrey Archaeological Society received a National Lottery grant totalling £90,000 for an exciting two-year heritage project, Sustainable Impact, which is spread across various locations throughout Surrey. Made possible by money raised by National Lottery players, the project focused on training its members to carry out fieldwork and strengthen the group’s outreach activities in the community.
Outreach
As part of its charitable objective to enhance public benefit, the Society is wholly committed to archaeological outreach. This involves raising awareness about archaeology and creating more accessible learning opportunitie, both for younger audiences and adults who wish to increase their fieldwork and research skills.
Since 2017, the Society has employed a part-time Outreach Projects Manager, who can be contacted at outreach@surreyarchaeology.org.uk.
To be kept up-to-date on various outreach opportunities in the county, you can be added to the mailing list for our monthly e-newsletters.
