Health and Wellbeing in Museums Fund eligibility quiz

Thank you for your interest in applying to the Health and Wellbeing in Museums Fund.

This eligibility quiz checks whether you meet the essential criteria for applying to the fund. If you meet the criteria, you will be invited to book a conversation with our team to discuss your project idea and receive our support and guidance before you submit an application.

Following this, application forms will be shared with applicants who meet all the eligibility requirements with a project idea that aligns with the programme's criteria for success.
1.Your name:(Required.)
2.Organisation name:(Required.)
3.Is your museum an institutional member of the Museums Association?

We are seeking to fund organisations with a demonstrable commitment to the Museums Change Lives campaign and Code of Ethics. Membership also provides access to resources and support to enable leading work in health and wellbeing.(Required.)
4.Is your museum a) Accredited; b) formally Working Towards Accreditation; or c) can make a strong case for meeting equivalent standards when Accreditation is not appropriate?

We use Accreditation as a marker of good practice in terms of public benefit, access, governance and collections care so expect applicants to part of the Accreditation scheme. In rare cases, we understand that Accreditation may not be possible, for example if you are a digital-only museum, and will require evidence of why you cannot be Accredited but meet equivalent relevant standards.(Required.)
5.Does your proposal seek to extend and develop existing health and wellbeing work?

We are looking for excellent health and wellbeing work that builds on a proven track record; that may be at risk due to financial difficulties in the sector; and where applicants have coherent plans for how they can develop, improve or embed elements of their work.(Required.)
6.Can you evidence a strategic commitment to health and wellbeing work?

Even if current finances put this work at risk, we will want to see that your organisation recognises the social value of this work.(Required.)
7.Are you able to provide evidence of organisational support for protecting the wellbeing of staff, volunteers, freelancers, partners and participants?

This could be in the form of a safeguarding policy and staff policies that govern wellbeing. We are looking for organisations that can evidence a culture of care being supported at governance level.(Required.)
