The Kathy Callow Trust
Grants of up to £1,000 for social history conservation
'… to provide awards with a long-term benefit for the conservation of social history artefacts and evidence in small museums....'
The trust was founded in 1994 from part of the residue of the estate of the late Kathy Callow.
Kathy Callow, the curator of the Priest's House Museum, Wimbourne, was an active and long-standing member of the Museums Association.

Such projects might include an exhibition, improving stored collections or running workshops for people “working” with museums.
Conditions governing grants from the fund:
aid is restricted to smaller galleries or museums with an annual gross revenue expenditure of less than £600,000
the total sum available each year is approximately £1,000
the sum awarded will be influenced by the long-term value of the project and the degree of preparatory thought that has been put into determining the content of the work and its costs
the trustees particularly welcome applications on the following aspects of social history conservation:, the disadvantaged in society, women, the sea, industrialisation, and small localities
applicants should make clear whether the full cost or part is being sought as a grant. Any other funding bodies that have been or will be approached should be mentioned
a written progress report on the work assisted by the grant must be made to the trustees by 30 November of the year following the award, or as soon as the project is finished, whichever is the sooner
