The IHBC’s Marsh Awards, developed in partnership with the Marsh Christian Trust, celebrates retired IHBC members and successful learners in heritage practice, with prizes that include £500 and a free place at the IHBC’s Annual School, while the IHBC’s President has written to members to call for more entries and to remind them of a closing date of 28 February 2018 for the current round.
David McDonald, IHBC President writes:
I just wanted to encourage you to consider promoting a nomination for the IHBC’s newly launched Marsh Awards for
- Successful Learning in Heritage Skills
- Community Contribution (Retired Member of the IHBC)
The nomination process is extremely simple, while the winners are recognised with cash awards of £500 and a free full place at the IHBC’s Annual School every June, where we present the awards.
For learners, both the funding and the education from the School could be a critical step-up in their trade or career.
For retired members of the IHBC (all categories), if the cash is not a priority, it could be donated to another deserving cause, as well as raising its profile.
So please do consider promoting nominations or, for someone deserving that you know, completing the easy-fill form yourself, for one or both awards, as follows:
It does take a little effort, but could make all the difference to someone’s life skills or cherished projects.
Nomination forms must be submitted by February 28th each year…
