THE Bronte Society is among eight organisations across the district to share in a £50,000 funding pot.

The society will use the arts, culture and heritage grant from Bradford Council to produce replicas of items from the Haworth museum for a 'mobile resource'.

A spokesperson said: "We will commission an artist and/or prop maker to create a number of artefacts that replicate, or are inspired by, items in our collection.

"These artefacts will then form a versatile and transportable resource to be used by staff, volunteers and commissioned artists in future creative activities and cultural engagement beyond the parsonage walls.

"In addition, the items will serve as an accessible and tactile learning resource and also create meaningful opportunities for visually-impaired museum visitors to engage with the collections through touch and other senses."

Any organisation interested in applying to the grants programme in the future can find further details at bradford.gov.uk/arts-and-culture/funding/arts-culture-and-heritage-grants.
