Letchworth Garden City Heritage Foundation, with the help of business support social enterprise, Wenta, has signed up to the Government’s Kickstart Scheme which has been set up to help the young and unemployed, aged between 16-24 and claiming Universal Credit, find employment.

Our new Communities Looking Forward Grant will run throughout 2021 offering grants of up to £10,000 to sustain health, wellbeing and community action across Letchworth. Local charities, clubs and community groups impacted by the pandemic can now get the support they need with the launch of our new recovery fund.

The winners of Letchworth Garden City Heritage Foundation’s first-ever Community Awards have been announced. The awards were launched to celebrate the contributions of those who went above and beyond to support the Letchworth community in 2020.

After several delays due to the pandemic, Broadway Gallery has launched the Letchworth Open exhibition on 9 January 2021. The recent COVID-19 restrictions mean the gallery cannot yet welcome visitors, but the exhibition has been brought to life online.

Letchworth Garden City Heritage Foundation has awarded £14,280 to Letchworth Foodbank following an application to its COVID-19 Catalyst Grant Programme, which was set up to support local groups and charities impacted by the pandemic.

COVID-19 forced the Heritage Foundation to close many of its arts and heritage venues and services which was devastating. This funding will be used to reopen the Garden City Collection and Museum at One Garden City, plus other activities and plans.
