Cambridgeshire Young Persons History Awards
The Cambridgeshire Young Persons History Awards were introduced in an attempt to encourage and support the study of all aspects of the Eastern Region's archaeology and history by its young people. The Awards were first presented in 2007.
The more Young People become aware and involved in the study and research of the archaeology and history of their local landscape and community, the more it will enhance their sense of belonging and develop their citizenship skills.
These Young People are the Archaeologists and Historians of Tomorrow, it is up to all of us to encourage and nurture their interest in the Landscape in which they live, their Past and their Local Heritage Today....
The Cambridgeshire Association for Local History is asking people to nominate Young People for CYPHA - the Cambridgeshire Young Persons History Award. Our aim is to reward and recognise History related work carried out by Young People in Eastern Region.
The planned work, research or project can be very broad based, our main aim is for Young People to have fun and learn about their landscape, community and their past. They may want to base their project on their Family's History or on their Village's Archaeology or History or they might want to cast their net further afield to a wider East Anglia based project or they might just be a budding Archaeologist - the basic rule is if in doubt
Please Contact us, to discuss their ideas.....
The Closing date for Entries is the 31st March each year

To be eligible for funding under the English Heritage ALSF Programme, projects must:

3. be additional to activity in English Heritage's existing grants programmes

Community Benefit
English Heritage is committed to widening access to, and understanding and enjoyment of, the historic environment. All projects funded through our ALSF Programme should, wherever possible, deliver these aims through programmes of outreach, education, interpretation and community involvement.
Joint Working & Partnership Funding
We encourage project proposals which promote partnership and joint working across different stakeholder groups and constituencies: the aggregates industry, local government, commercial contractors, the higher education and research sector, other environmental agencies, community groups and not-for-profit organisations, and the independent and voluntary sector.
The English Heritage ALSF Programme has no requirement for partnership funding but applications which bring partnership funding or some other resource contribution, and so lever-in additional resopurces for the historic environment, will be particularly welcomed. For eligible sources of partnership funding please see our Guidance Notes page.
We are happy to consider applications where joint funding is also being sought from English Nature and/or The Countryside Agency and/or CEFAS (for marine projects).
