Family Friendly

The grants enable museums to make their galleries, cafes, facilities, activities, marketing and social media more family friendly and accessible.

The programme this year offers £4,000 (eight grants of £500) to London’s non-national, non-NPO museums in 2024–2025. This year’s programme will enable museums to use the Kids in Museums Manifesto as a development tool to create a more permanent welcoming offer to children, families and young people by March 2025.
