Terms and Rules

2. Volunteer contributions

If you are applying for a sustainability grant and volunteers will be undertaking some of the work, your application must detail:

  • the roles volunteers play
  • how many volunteers are likely to be involved
  • how many volunteer hours are included in the project
  • how volunteers will be managed/supervised and who will do this

In-kind contributions should be based on the following values for each volunteer:

  • professional services, up to £350 a day
  • skilled labour, £150 a day
  • unskilled labour, £50 a day

Details should be provided showing how the value of volunteer labour has been calculated, by showing the type of activity carried out for each of the three categories above as appropriate. The application should also demonstrate that the volunteers have adequate skills to carry out the allotted tasks. 

3. Payment

Once agreed, payment will be made retrospectively on production of proof of expenditure. In order to receive payment, all relevant receipts must be shown and the claim form (downloadable from our website) completed. Failure to provide the necessary documentation could result in the grant being withdrawn.

4. Publicity

By making an application, all owners are agreeing that the details of the grant and any images of the relevant project may be used by National Historic Ships for publicity purposes. All personal and business details relating to the owner or trust will remain confidential.

5. Grant conditions

Please note that:

  • All applications must be for future events or projects - no grants can be issued for conferences/training already undertaken, or work previously completed.
  • Each application is assessed individually; therefore if an event or project is cancelled, the grant will be withdrawn and re-assessed. Grants are not inter-changeable.
  • The work must be completed and the grant claimed within nine months being made. All grants unclaimed after that period will be automatically withdrawn and the monies returned to the grant pot.
