Here you can find shared ideas, resources and inspiration from the INTO family in response to COVID-19
We are thinking of you all as the COVID-19 situation develops on a daily basis. Like every other organisation, our primary concern is for people who are suffering or on the front line. And we hope of course that members and supporters of the international national trust family stay safe.
The virus seems to strike at the very heart of the things we particularly value at INTO, like coming together, networking and community. Global connectivity has been blamed. And yet we know from experience that things are better when we work together as a global community.
Below are our latest posts which include some lovely examples from across the INTO network of how our members are engaging their supporters and building support, amid the challenges of closing properties and keeping organisations solvent (particularly Catherine’s Weekly bulletin from 3 April 2020).
Do also check out our special small grants round in support of expenditure incurred during the pandemic. The deadline for submission is 17 May!
Stay tuned to our social media – and please also tag us in your posts @intoheritage. Do email us any questions or suggestions, or use our ASK-INTO Google doc to request information and expertise bit.ly/CV19ASKINTO.
