FACET Appeal

For the last 11 years ARCH has been pioneering innovative community heritage projects in Highland communities. Our special feature has been getting local people involved so it is you who make decisions and implement the programme of activities. Leading such projects requires very different skills from simply standing up and lecturing.

With this in mind two years ago the ARCH board devised an exciting project to train facilitators with the skills needed to devise and lead community heritage projects. We are calling it FACET (Facilitated Community Engagement Training). Five trainee facilitators will learn by doing, participating on courses in two communities which feature the ARCH Community Timeline modules of oral history, research and creating displays. We have already had positive feedback from several interested communities who want to have the courses.

We need to raise £6000 to match our grant from Historic Environment Scotland of £18,000. We are very keen to progress this project and have been given permission by HES to delay our start until spring 2021 while we search for match funding.

We are therefore launching the ARCH FACET Appeal to raise the remainder, with a combination of funding applications, your help and our reserves.

Two free, handmade fabric re-useable masks will be sent to anyone donating £10 or more to the appeal (while stocks last). Colourful, most at least 50% recycled fabric and good for the environment. Specify designs (email susan@archhighland.org.uk), but some are very limited quantities, so include alternatives. All are 'regular' size - if you want smaller or larger contact Susan. Postal address needed too!

Any donation is appreciated, and will be ring-fenced to apply to the FACET project.
