Headley Trust support for HCA

The Heritage Crafts Association (HCA) is delighted that the Headley Trust has agreed to support it with a grant of £30,000 to pay a part-time administrator for two years.

The HCA trustees hope that, amongst other tasks, an administrator will help the Association expand its map of traditional craftspeople, to create a searchable database which will help folk find craftspeople more easily and link directly to their websites. The new administrator will also help the HCA work towards commissioning some more detailed quantitative research into the state of traditional crafts in the UK.

It will take the trustees a little while to draw up a job description, person specfication and advertise the post, but they hope to attract a talented and committed person who can help them move HCA on to the next stage of its development and continue to make real differences to working craftspeople.
