*Grant funding for local culture and heritage*
Culture and heritage grants
We have awarded 20 grants to local cultural and heritage organisations all looking to enrich and enhance the lives of the borough’s residents.
In total, the 20 grant awards received £80,000 from the UK government through the UK Shared Prosperity Fund. The funds have been distributed to local organisations with a wide variety of cultural interests.
The projects to benefit from funding support included a mini arts and cultural festival in Congleton called ‘The Green Island Fiesta’, the installation of some heritage information panels at Alderley Edge railway station, a story-telling festival in Crewe and a musicians in residence programme at Leighton Hospital, in Crewe.

Cheshire archives project takes its next step
Cheshire Archives image
The start date is nearing for construction of two new history centres that will co-host the region’s archives.
Cheshire Archives and Local Studies is a shared service of Cheshire East Council and Cheshire West and Chester Council. It looks after the county’s unique and irreplaceable written and pictorial history, which dates back more than 900 years.
The service’s current base, the Record Office in Chester, will close its doors on 8 August so that the whole team, with the help of volunteers, can prepare the thousands of historical records for the move to the two new state-of-the-art history centres that will replace it.
