Message to FAUK members from Sue Todd, Archival Relationships Manager, BFI
I’m delighted to say that Northern Ireland Screen’s Unlocking Film Heritage work has been nominated for Best Heritage projects with the National Lottery Awards and reached the finals.
We put forward a number of your projects and this is the one that was picked up. It focuses on all the amazing outreach work Francis and the team do at Northern Ireland Screen and how they have built that up with UFH support.
Please vote for them and spread the word as widely as you possibly can. Voting closes on the 27th July
Please support them by casting a vote on http://www.lotterygoodcauses.org.uk/project/unlocking-film-heritage-northern-ireland-film
Every vote counts, so we really appreciate your support!
The National Lottery Awards are an annual search to find the UK’s favourite Lottery-funded projects, and they aim to celebrate and recognise the difference that those projects have made to people, places and communities all across the UK.
