Over the last 18 months, we have been running an internship programme, with the support of Arts Council England, to develop sector entrants skills within the museums and heritage sector. We worked with six museum partners, Bassetlaw Museum, Mansfield Museum, Kettering Manor House Museum, Rutland County Museum, Ayscoughfee Hall and Gardens and the British Horological Institute. As well as the internships, four mini projects were completed at four partner sites. We are committed to honest reporting, and we hope that sharing the learning from the Resilience Syndicate project will help other people in the sector too.
