Bursary Recipient

Joseph Lancaster

Joseph recently received a Heritage Crafts Training Bursary funded by Sussex Heritage Trust

“As a plasterer, carpenter, decorator working on mainly old buildings. I realised the need to specialise and strengthen the craft skills within my business. 6 months ago I was introduced to working with Lime. I quickly established this was the direction I wanted to apply myself. Since being made aware of the heritage trust bursary and becoming a successful recipient of the bursary; the professional advice, finance and support will allow me to actualise my dream.”
