HLF funded Apna Heritage Archive takes to the road.....

October 05, 2016

BCVA are currently on a marketing drive to promote the Apna Heritage Archive, a project supported by Heritage Lottery Fund. After appearing in various publications including ARC magazine and Mann Jeet Weekly we have been in the heart of local community promoting the value of heritage that our project brings. Along the way we have met many individuals that are keen to get involved and are digging out the old albums as we speak! be sure to visit our website and Instagram page to see the archive build up.
