Brooklands Museum is seeking a consultant to produce a Community Engagement Strategy.
We are nearing the end of a 24-month project funded by National Lottery Heritage Fund (NLHF) Dynamic Collections. The project is called Brooklands Stories Uncovered and its aim has been to uncover, represent and celebrate the stories of diverse people from our history in collaboration with people from the LGBTQ+ and neurodivergent communities as well as young people with additional challenges. Throughout the 20th century, people from Brooklands’ broke boundaries and achieved incredible things, developing innovations that changed the world. We want to use these historic people as role models for people today, showing that it is possible to achieve your dreams and ambitions regardless of background or lived experience.
The project has been running for 18 months, and we are now looking to secure the legacy of the project and embed it into our work going forward. As such, we are seeking a consultant to produce a Community Engagement Strategy that takes the work we’ve carried out during the project, and our learning, as a starting point for our longer-term activity and embed this into our wider strategic direction.
This work to produce a Community Engagement Strategy is being funded by NLHF Dynamic Collections as part of the Brooklands Stories Uncovered project.
We are looking for someone who is collaborative and who understands how to embed co-creation with diverse communities into the production of exhibitions and interpretation.
The timescale for this work is until July 2025 although this can be discussed if necessary.
The budget is £10,000 excl. VAT.
The deadline for submission of tenders is 5:00pm on Wednesday 30 April 2025.
For the full brief and submission requirements, please email Dr Jenna Spellane, Director of Heritage, Interpretation & Engagement at [email protected].
