**Heritage organisations in the Outer Hebrides will receive four days of fundraising
training next month from Resourcing Scotland’s Heritage. The programme is led by
Arts & Business Scotland with Archaeology Scotland, Built Environment Forum Scotland,
greenspace scotland and Museums Galleries Scotland. It is funded by the Heritage
Lottery Fund’s Catalyst scheme.**

The series of training courses, networking opportunities and expert-led events is
designed to support and develop financial sustainability among the islands’ heritage
sector. Resourcing Scotland’s Heritage has been running the programme since 2014.

The four-day Outer Hebrides programme will take place on Stornoway, Isle of Lewis
and Benbecula, with the specific aim of making it accessible to more remote communities.
RSH ran [a two-day programme on Orkney](https://fundraising.co.uk/2015/07/20/first-heritage-fundraising-courses-to-be-run-on-orkney-in-september/)
last year.

RSH will run its Fundraising: Make it Happen course over the four days, as well 
as running surgeries offering advice on legacy fundraising and applying to charitable
trusts and foundations.
