Rotherham Museums, Arts and Heritage has been commissioned by Children’s Capital of Culture to lead on the family learning strand.
The Family Learning Commissioning Panel has been set up by the service to allocate commissions and grant funding to community organisations to deliver creative and play based approaches to intergenerational families in Rotherham.
The funding has been allocated through an open call application process and the panel has made the final decisions on the allocation of grant funds. A total budget of £67,500 has been allocated to the Family Learning Commissioning Panel to distribute to community organisations throughout 2025 and 2026 through a grants and commissioning programme.
The funding for the panel and grants are through the Children’s Capital of Culture Arts Council Place Partnership bid for Rotherham to deliver the festival year in 2025.
