<p>This week, the Chancellor announced that £1.2 million of the centenary fund will go directly to seven Centenary Cities and towns in England with a strong suffrage history, to strengthen the reach and legacy of the celebrations to inspire a new generation with this story.</p><p>A further £1.5 million will be available to organisations and communities through a grants scheme. We have appointed a grant administrator to oversee the application and award process, and I will write to all Members with details of the scheme including application criteria shortly.</p><p>We are developing an exciting national programme to celebrate and remember the suffrage movement, which also includes funding the statue of Millicent Fawcett in Parliament Square, and a suite of education programmes.</p> |
