Council grant helps aviation centre safeguard artefacts

The North Lincolnshire Aviation Heritage Centre has secured a £6,720 grant from North Lincolnshire Council to install a new security system. The upgrade is designed to protect valuable artefacts and ensure the site remains accessible to visitors.

The centre, which highlights the region’s aviation history through interactive displays and educational experiences, is one of many grassroots projects supported by the council’s Community Grant Fund.

Since its launch in 2011, the scheme has provided millions of pounds to local initiatives, including sports clubs, youth groups, charities and parish councils. Grants are also available for venue hire, cultural projects, and individuals excelling in sport, art, or culture.

The latest award underlines the council’s aim to preserve local heritage while supporting community-led activity across the region.
