We have been awarded a grant by The National Lottery Heritage Fund to protect the coastal archaeology of Sandwich Bay, Kent
This £199,060 grant is for Coastal Pasts – Connecting Community with Coastal Heritage at Sandwich Bay project and the money will be used to establish a self-sustaining community group to actively investigate and promote the unique heritage at Sandwich Bay. This is the largest single grant the Nautical Archaeology Society has received in its 50-year history!
A paid part-time project officer has just been employed to support the project and the activities of the community group over three years. We are looking forward to announcing this person soon!
We are inviting tenders for an independent evaluator to undertake a continuous and final evaluation of our Coastal Pasts – Connecting Community with Coastal Heritage at Sandwich Bay, a three-year initiative. See the invitation to tender brief here. Applications close 14 September 2026.
