The IHBC, the UK’s professional body for built and historic environment conservation specialists, has finally closed its 2013 charitable allocation of up to £4000 to help members attend the IHBC’s Annual School on skills in June in Carlisle, though members should note that some IHBC Branches are still offering bursaries.
Bob Kindred, IHBC Committee Vice Chair, and responsible for the institute’s national bursaries, said: ’The Annual School, coming as it does with the Institute’s AGM, is its most high profile and prestigious yearly event for the sector, and helps showcase the excellence and multi-disciplinary nature of the IHBC’s operations. It also provides a vital opportunity for continuing professional development; the sharing of common experiences and concerns, and networking with fellow practitioners. As such, the School is the obvious focus for the IHBC as a charity, not least as it offers a unique opportunity for the IHBC, as a charity, to help members promote our conservation in the proper care of places.’
‘The IHBC Bursary Scheme for the School, now in its third year, enables participation by those who might otherwise not be able to do so, and demonstrates the Institute’s commitment to assisting the professional development of its members in times of economic hardship. And of course it’s always a great pleasure to hear about how much people have gained from their experience at the School, and how much they want to give back to the wider sector following our support for their attendance!’
