In 2019 we were fortunate enough to be awarded funding from the National Lottery Heritage Fund through their 'Resilient Heritage' Programme.
Project Aims
The project aims to deliver significant changes and improvements to the way the Craft in the Bay operates. As such we have defined a series of clear Outcomes that we will use to measure the success of the schemes. The outcomes will be used to structure the evaluation of the scheme, the findings of which will be shared fully with HLF, partners and the wider community. Our objectives are aligned with those of the Heritage Lottery Fund, namely:

- Heritage will be better managed, both our craft heritage and our building heritage.
- People will have developed skills,
- More people and a wider range of people will have engaged

Volunteer Oral Histories
|
A unique Educational Resource
|
As a volunteer led organisation we recognise the importance of our volunteers. We currently have around 125 voluteers who gave 497 days to the Guild. We want to create an visual history of our organisation through the recording of our history from our voluteers. Back in 2016 we took part in another Heritage Lottery Fund project led by VCS Cymru. The Chronicle Project was a community heritage project supported by the Heritage Lottery Fund and run by VCS Cymru with the aims to document the history of volunteering in Cardiff, from 1914 to 2014. We want to build on these oral histories to create a digital archive, which can be used as a unique educational resource.
Here is an oral history interview with Molly Curley, a founding member of The Makers Guild in Wales and instrumental in the setting up of the organisation in 1984, this interview took place on 18 September 2016. Here is an oral history interview with Gill David, one of our longest serving volunteers, that took place on the 18th September 2016 |
