FUNDING & SUPPORT

Local History Hub is a teacher-led, early-stage start-up with a big ambition: to put local history at the heart of education and community life.

We’re a registered Community Interest Company (CIC), currently in our pilot phase, with a growing client base, strong sector interest, and proof of concept already emerging across the UK. We’re building something new—from the classroom up—and now is a pivotal moment in our development

Why Your Support Matters

We are a pre-revenue organisation, focused on building a sustainable model that serves schools, supports heritage partners, and empowers communities to engage with their own histories.

As a CIC, all income is reinvested into our social mission. Support at this early stage will allow us to:

  • Launch and expand teacher-led Local History Hubs in more communities

  • Offer free programmes for children, families, and schools

  • Strengthen outreach through partnerships with museums, archives, and heritage organisations

  • Cover core operating costs as we scale our team and infrastructure

Your backing helps us move from pilot to national rollout, enabling us to reach more communities, amplify diverse local stories, and build lasting cultural capital for the next generation.

Ways To Support

If you believe in the power of place-based education, there are several ways you can get involved:

  • Fund or sponsor our work – Support national expansion or specific programmes

  • Partner with us – Collaborate on delivery, outreach, or resource development

  • Advocate for us – Share our work and help grow our network

We’re especially keen to connect with individuals, trusts, funders, and organisations who share our belief that history should be local, inclusive, and accessible to all.
