The Anna Plowden Trust and the Clothworkers Foundation - two of the leading funders of training and development for conservators - have teamed up to offer greater support for conservators undertaking continuing professional development (CPD). The Anna Plowden Trust has provided more than100 grants for CPD during the last two decades and the Clothworkers Foundation conservation programme has given over 150,000 GBP in CPD grants during the last eight years.
For 2017, the Clothworkers Foundation has awarded a grant of 20,000 GBP to the Anna Plowden Trust, specifically to help increase support for conservators seeking to improve their knowledge or skills, or to broaden their professional experience. The Anna Plowden Trust will administer the award of Anna Plowden Trust Clothworkers Foundation CPD grants on behalf of both funders, simplifying the process for applicants and greatly increasing the level of support available to UK-based conservators. The next deadline for applications is March 22nd 2017 (with the remaining deadlines in 2017 on June 5th and September 14th). You can find out more about the grants and download an application form by visiting the Anna Plowden Trust website: http://www.annaplowdentrust.org.uk/applying-to-us/cpd-grants <http://www.annaplowdentrust.org.uk/applying-to-us/cpd-grants> Note that from January 2017 The Clothworkers Foundation will not offer CPD grants directly, it will only do so through this partnership with the Anna Plowden Trust.
